I usually associate the term LiDAR for anything military. And well, the range-topping iPhone 12 Pro comes with a LiDAR scanner. And that's when Snapchat announced AR support for the new LiDAR capability.

For those in the know, LiDAR stands for "light detection and ranging" and works exactly like sonar, except that well, sonar uses sound, and LiDAR uses light. In Snapchat's scenario, this enables greater depth-mapping, and will facilitate creation of more AR tools utilising LiDAR and Lens Studio.

    I did try to see what the 5G could offer and now l know.

    I have been in the market for a new phone, since my 3G signal is disappearing and my current one is falling apart, (headphones, one side doesn't work, volume control broke, etc) so l baught a Nokia 2720 flip today.

    Main reason being, that Android is rubbish for Bluetooth, or at least the cheap phones are, (this one purrs like a kitten, or is third party OS).

    And on phones with prices ranging from $100 and probably up to $300, (android) have the hard to press screen after a year or more of usage.

    This is probably the cheapest phone that allows WiFi connection, or surfing online without racking up gaint bills.


    A prelude to this one, eventhough it has issues with water drops affecting the screen.



    Probably be a year before l could consider buying a 2k phone, but good to know it has that fancy feature.

    Seems all the pieces are nearly in place for Apple's AR/VR glasses? Chomping at the bit...

    you know iPhone 12 pro can create a depth map of whatever space you are in because iPhone 12 Pro uses a LiDAR Scanner to measure how long it takes light to reflect back from objects.
