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.
Seeing around corners
And that capability could soon be in for a seriously impressive upgrade. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an algorithm that lets a phone’s LiDAR sensor detect objects hidden around corners. Details are in a paper published in the journal Nature.
Typically, this type of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) capability is found in labs and relies on bulky, expensive resear...
