LiDAR in AR/VR Systems: Enabling Precision Depth Mapping for Next-Generation Immersive Technologies
The convergence of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) with augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) is accelerating the evolution of immersive systems. Previously hindered by high costs and large form factors, LiDAR sensors have undergone rapid miniaturization and cost optimization. Modern consumer devices now integrate compact LiDAR units capable of generating real-time, high-resolution spatial data essential for immersive computing.
