DUE TO THE PREVENTIVE COVID-19 MEASURES MADE BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN SHENZHEN CHINA, WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT YOLE GROUP & CIOE PHOTONICS FORUMS 2022 HAS BEEN CANCELED WITH THE DECISION MADE BY OUR PARTNER ORGANIZER CIOE.
From smartphones into the Metaverse: 3D sensing is shaping the future of reality
The 5th Yole GROUP and CIOE forum on 3D Sensing for Consumer!
When the iPhone X first introduced 3D sensing technology, it highlighted that 3D sensing could use peoples faces to digitally identify them uniquely and to create an avatar emoji. This idea is now driving interaction in the Metaverses 3D virtual world.
3D sensing cameras can also map the real world and digitize
reality in depth. We also expect that to blend seamlessly into the virtual
world of the Metaverse, creating an immersive experience.
With 3D sensing, we can control smartphones and tablets with simple gestures and body movements. This is like the Metaverses interoperability idea. Now it is changing how we interact with this technology every day, it is bound to shape the future of reality.
3D sensing is a fundamental technology, and it is still in its infancy. Apple has brought 3D sensing into mobile applications. Other mobile brands have followed, seeing 3D sensing as a technology with huge potential, and the market is booming.
With the Metaverse arriving, 3D sensing is gradually showing its strength.
Key reasons to be here!
