Sony d...You are mixing technologies and use cases.<br /><br />Sony dToF/iTOF are "area sensors" with 10s of thousands of depth points (30K for Apple dTOF and up to 300K VGA for iToF). The ST sensor is a few pixels used for ranging and AF only, and cannot be used for AR or computational photography beyond AF.<br /><br />So Samsung actually reduced the features/ability by going to ST dToF ranging sensors and is doing the basics at a lower cost. Will the Apple move force Samsung back up to an area sensor? We'll have to wait and see.<br /><br />ST has no area sensors on the market: right now it is Sony, Infineon and Samsung LSI, with a few bit players floating around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-91678972291403374772020-10-16T13:29:19.322+03:002020-10-16T13:29:19.322+03:00Yes, ST uses dToFYes, ST uses dToFVladimir Koifmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800020176563544699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-9174589244409014222020-10-16T13:22:50.642+03:002020-10-16T13:22:50.642+03:00is ST AF sensor a ToF technology too ? or a differ...is ST AF sensor a ToF technology too ? or a different concept?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
