      @@user-zp5vt1tu6b You got Hulu or Netflix? Or even on RUclips, go to literally ANY new Ghost Hunting show from the last few years and you will surely see them use this. Ah, I just realize you used the term "haunted house attraction". I was referring to the many tools, some legit and some "meh" that are used by Paranormal Investigators. Now, I know this doesn't have much place on a Science-themed channel, but I have had my own encounters and it rattled me to the core of beliefs at age 20. I WAS a "strong" atheist and now I'm what's called a "weak" atheist, meaning while I don't believe in a bearded man in the sky, I do believe in phenomena that exist outside the scope of our modern understanding. There is absolutely no way that this beleif in me can be shaken as I was literally punched in the stomach by a ghost after "calling it out". I had to research the site, and research the phenomenon myself b/c the original "Ghost Hunters" series hadn't even come out yet. However, in 2001 I learned enough to know that it is mostly an electro-magnetic phenomenon that can affect our conscious. I also believe that interstellar travel is pretty much impossible, and that what we call "aliens" may, in fact, be races of beings capable of viewing us from afar using quantum mechanics based on advanced electromagnetic principles that only fringe groups of paranormal "Scientists" are only beginning to dig into the surface of. It's just a shame that most modern scientists have not delved into this. Basically, our minds operate at a freq. of 0-20Hz and detecting this range of frequencies is difficult. My foray into this science can be explained by looking up "H.A.A.R.P." and associated "conspiracies" as well as "Brainwave Entrainment", "Binaural Beats", and a program known as "iDoser"... Happy hunting!

    I just want to highlight that the statement for 1550nm wavelength lasers is correct, BUT they are not used in your phones and therefore the statement is a bit dangerous (at least not for the VCSEL structured light and Time of Flight applications)
    The VCSEL used in this applications don´t use 1550nm, as the high power arrays are currently not available at this wavelength. Commonly used VCSEL are at 850nm or 940nm. To make them eye-safe, the VCSEL are driven with short pulses to keep the average power low. Also a single pulse is only allowed to have a certain amount of energy to be eye-safe. This considerations are done for certain distances, so holding the phone directly into your eye could still damage your eye, since instead of only some dots the whole energy would enter your eye. With the use of a proximity sensor (distance measurement by a very low power VCSEL), they normally make sure to switch on the laser only when you are in a safe distance to the phone.
    Also the fact that you can´t see the IR light is actually nice for the application as you are not bothered by the light, BUT for laser this can also introduce a big problem. With visible light, your eye has an automatic closing mechanism that shuts your eye pretty fast if you are exposed to much brightness. This is not true for IR light. Ever tried to look into a 5mW red laserpointer (DON´T try it by the way)? You would have to force yourself to not close your eye. For IR light, it would just burn you before you would even react.
    The VCSEL is dangerous without the right driving conditions and additional safety features by the developers!

    At about 1:43, we see the tiles of the blue noise offset from each other, and they just allow the top and bottom edges of the illuminated area to remain rough, unlit outside of the tiles. So it looks like they have the noise emitter template in a thin strip. On one hand, I can't imagine the photolithography template having all that wasted space around the edges. On the other hand, I can't imagine tham actually tiling separate hardware emitters together with that kind of precision.
    So my stupid question for the day is:
    What are your thoughts on that tiling, particularly the empty regions? Is it all just the pattern of a single emitter chip, or a patchwork of hardware?

Then put it in a vacuum chamber, blast it with the burning laser, paint it white (or black), freeze it in liquid nitrogen, set it on fire... you know, the typical day at the office kind of stuff... well typical stuff at _your_ office LOL 😁

    Cool. Laser shining directly to our eyes. Repeatedly.
    Some time ago I was on the training about professional printers (light, color, etc...). And along with it we were taught a little about safety. And they learned us, that lasers are extremely treacherous - that even super low power laser, like in the laser pointer pen, if it shines directly to someones eye, can cause blindness on this eye even after 10 years. It seems like everything is OK for these 10 years, nothing happened, but after such long period of time, it causes eye destruction. I don't remember what exactly happens in the eye, but it was incurable.
    So, big thumb up to big tech. And big wish to people to wake up...

    • @Tobyshore

      I'm pretty sure the frequency of the light emitted is a big factor, much like UV light is more harmful than near Infra-Red. Secondly despite saying so in the video, it is NOT A LASER in the iPhone it's an Infrared (or IR) LED. Thirdly for exposure to the near infrared spectrum (700 - 900nm) to be even remotely risky it would require your eyeball to be within 1mm of the source for a prolonged period of over 20 mins (granted, not impossible, but highly unlikely).
      Lidar can be harmful but again to light at around 1500micrometers the eye is opaque, so blindness is unlikely but damage could occur from deliberate abuse.

      This is for depth sensing. If you know the depth of objects in a scene, you can use that for image processing and augmented reality. Want a zoom call on your phone but don't want to use a green screen to mask out the background? The depth sensor can help with that. Want to create an AR filter which can find the shape of someones face and accurately place 3D objects (such as ear rings) on the face and scale them appropriately and have physics interactions? With a depth reconstructed mesh, you can place virtual objects on a physical face and not have the virtual mesh occlude the physical geometry.

    What's interesting is that human skin has some absorption properties which makes it harder to be precise about the laser dot. Some techniques will look at the shape of the dot on an even array of laser dots, but other techniques will cast a different dot dispersion pattern and just try to measure the center of the dot. Because you know exactly where a dot should land, and you see where it actually lands, you can figure out depth, even if human skin absorbs and diffuses some of the laser energy. It can get a bit more tricky with hair, such as long hair or beards.

    Wait... if the universe is constantly expanding, then the perception of the speed of light as a constant means it is always covering more distance at the same perceivable rate. This means the speed of light is a constantly accelerating speed in order to be perceived as a constant over more distance. Right? This would prove that black holes are just us perceiving light that is travelling faster than our speed of light from a central source giving the illusion of reversed time. I'd love for someone who knows more to contemplate this.

    • @minerblake7494
      @minerblake7494 2 года назад

      I don't think it's an illusion, it's more like an analogy like a clock with hands is an analogy of average Time. We are limited by current knowledge and understanding, so it amounts to speculation until the model or experiment can be designed (CERN perhaps). Time and light are static, so the 'speed' is irrelevant between them in the continuum. Slicing them (observer effect) creates the snapshots our minds can grapple with. We are dynamic, so speed is relevant as is velocity and we form a relationship with Time and Light based on those snapshots. FTL (Faster Than Light) is a potential not unlike polarity but explained or defined in the physics (we're seeing the speed of cause and effect relating it to Light because of our limited perception). If something is static, it's not moving, so in theory everything moving (velocity) would be faster than a thing with zero velocity. And apparently everything IS moving, everything that has mass, so everything is FTL.
      Doesn't make sense... on that level. Light has no mass, so by that theory, a black hole couldn't affect light since gravity influences mass. Doesn't make sense. Something don't smell right in the state of.... unless. Light is there, and it's here, everywhere, it doesn't move, it simply exists as a field, and the field is charged by energy producing a polarity switch, off or on, just like a light switch.

    Hi there, great video! Can you tell me what is the app you were using that sees the laser dots to show contour in a dark room in real time? Great channel.. subscribed!

    Are our dogs or cats affected by this?..

    Okay, that’s nutty but very cool. I’ve always wondered how facial recognition worked in the dark.

    This was very interesting. Does the Samsung models do it also?

    What if you were to use LIDAR in a room with different pockets of humidity? Wouldn't it take longer for a laser to travel through denser pockets of air?

      hmm, good question, but look at the potential for a laser provided enough power, it'll cut through objects, so cutting through air would likely depend on the power supply -- LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, theoretically enough power concentrated into a small enough "bead" will cut through just about anything, so the 'speed' would be related to power not the light assuming Light is a constant speed

    Here’s a question: where are these scans stored? Who has access to these scans? Is the phone able to scan without user input?
    Seems like a useful surveillance tool... not sure how it can be justified for the sake of better photos and “security” when it probably doubles the cost of the device
