For smartphones, it will be used for facial recognition. Vivo’s iteration promises 10 times more accuracy as compared to Apple’s Face ID, which might open up applications other than just smartphones . Time of Flight The company calls it Time of Flight (TOF), as it measures the time it takes for the light to bounce back from the subject, and is able to make accurate measurements. This allows for better facial recognition, and can also be applied to gestures, motion tracking, 3D photography, and AR. TOF can be paired up with software-level features and AI to enhance security even further and takes much less space than the sensors seen in the iPhone X and Xiaomi’s Mi 8 Explorer Edition. Vivo’s sensor operates in a simpler way, unlike Structure of Light-based sensors, that work...
