Smartphones may soon be able to track hidden objects using LiDAR

Modern smartphones are packed with incredible technology, from high-resolution cameras and advanced graphics chips to AI processors. In premium models, this hardware includes LiDAR (light detection and ranging), which helps power augmented reality features and improve depth sensing.

Wow. I wasn't expecting this! 🤯

This #HomeAssistant add on is amazing. You give it #LiDAR data (free from many government sites including UK) and it creates a 3D representation of your building and a projection of shadows based on sun position and and trees, buildings etc around you.

[Custom Card] Helios, real-time 3D sun, clouds, PV production and LiDAR shadows on your home

[Custom Card] Helios, real-time 3D sun, clouds, PV production and LiDAR shadows on your home Hi everyone, I'm Jérôme, 44, a developer by trade (with a 3D background notably), and I've been using Home Assistant for several years to run my home, like a lot of you here. This community has given me a tremendous amount over time: the forums, the custom cards, the integrations shared without asking anything in return. After consuming for years without giving anything back, I felt it was time to contr...

Could native color lidar sensors be the future of self-driving cars? 💡🚗 Ouster's new Rev8 sensors have combined structure and color sensing. This means that just one #lidar sensor can now understand a 3D environment in terms of visuals and depth. Read more at #OpticsOrg: https://bit.ly/4tOLnk6

최근 5년이 LLM 중심이었다면, 다음 5년은 시각 지능(visual intelligence)이 주도할 수 있다는 관점을 제시한다. @gravicle과의 대화에서 Apple의 LiDAR 작업, @southpkcommons와 @LumaLabsAI를 거쳐 world models로 이어지는 흐름을 다뤘다. 멀티모달/월드모델 연구·제품화에 관심 있는 AI 개발자에게 참고할 만한 인사이트다.

The last 5 years have been dominated by LLMs. @gravicle makes a compelling case for visual intelligence dominating the next 5. We discussed the journey from @southpkcommons, to @LumaLabsAI, to world models (what does this even mean!?). Enjoy! (00:00) Apple's LiDAR work

The actual relationship between #TreeDiversity and #ForestStructuralComplexity is mediated by ecological characteristics such as density and #CanopyHeight, but the interfering factors may mask the positive correlation between the two.
