At the MWCS Shanghai show held last month, a new technology attracted the attention of countless media and consumers. The TOF technology that appeared on the vivo booth has been proud of Apple at the application level. The 3D structure of light technology is relatively large, and its current application prospects are also very broad.
3D structured light technology has high recognition accuracy, but the number of depth points is small, the module is large in size, high in power consumption, and high in cost. Therefore, there are only a handful of mobile phones using 3D structured light technology on the market. The latest TOF The technology sacrifices the accuracy of ranging, in exchange for small volume, low power consumption, and can project a large number of depth points, so it can generate more complex and detailed 3D models in a short time. In the perspective of vivo Future TOF technology can be applied to AR, somatosensory games and other application scenarios, and its use is more extensive than 3D structured light.
A person familiar with the matter said that a domestic manufacturer is likely to release a new product on Thursday, August 16th, and this product is related to TOF technology. Currently, only the vivo family is showing TOF technology, and it is predicted that vivo will be released soon. The new phone will be very likely to carry TOF technology.
But after all, it is speculation. After all, vivo just released NEX's heavyweight flagship product. If you want to release such a powerful machine in a short time, it will definitely affect the market share of NEX. At the same time, there is also a report that Huawei The next-generation flagship Mate 20 (tentative name) also has a good chance to use TOF technology, and it is also a combination of 3D structured light + rear TOF camera, which is more in line with the suggestion of the blogger's 'TOF 3D'. And from the time point of view, Huawei is also likely to release its new flagship in August.
Who will the TOF technology eventually fall into? Let us look forward to the second half of the vivo and Huawei new machines.
