CML Reports that Tier 1 Smartphone Adopts its ToF Technology

Cambridge Mechatronics Ltd. reports: "The LiDAR scanner used by Apple in its recently released iPad Pro uses technology to increase the range to five metres and include more of the surroundings. However, this LiDAR technology results in a compromise to measurement resolution. Some reviewers highlighted performance inaccuracies and limitations.

However, CML has developed technology that increases the range to ten metres without compromising measurement resolution. Tier 1 smartphone supply chains are including this functionality in module samples planned to be available in Q3 this year.

The 3D sensing modules including CML’s technology will have double the working range compared to the LiDAR scanner and ten times superior measurement accuracy. This can deliver the most realistic AR experiences in a broader range of scenarios."
