iPhone 8 it will have a new 3D front camera with 3 modules that will allow facial recognition of users, but will also map the environment around the smartphone. We are talking about a new revolutionary front camera for iPhone 8, which will work based on a software developed by the PrimeSense company bought by Apple in 2013.
iPhone 8 will basically have a classic front camera, an infrared sensor for transmitting light, but also a second one for receiving infrared light. Based on these 3 modules, the new front camera of the iPhone 8 will be able to perceive the depth of the objects around us, but it will also be able to recognize the faces of the users in front of it.
The front camera of the iPhone 8 will combine the 2D images of the camera with those of the sensors and will be capable not only of facial recognition, but also of iris scanning. Basically, Apple will implement a complex front panel in the iPhone 8 that will be capable of facial recognition, iris scanning, object depth scanning, but also other functions for augmented or virtual reality.
iPhone 8 – revolutionary 3D camera with 3 modules
A very interesting application for gamers with iPhone 8 will allow them to record a 3D selfie of the face and use it in the game instead of a standard avatar. Although the iPhone 7 Plus contains a rudimentary version of the software that will be used for the front camera of the iPhone 8, Apple will integrate advanced software into the new device.
In order to develop its technology, Apple uses in the front camera of the iPhone 8 an infrared sensor from the company Lumentum for transmission to the world. The classic front camera of the iPhone 8 will be one from Sony, while the infrared light receiver will be manufactured by Foxconn, or Sharp, recently bought by the Taiwanese.
Practically, the new 3D front camera of iPhone 8 will transmit infrared light and receive the refracted one using a 1.4 megapixel infrared sensor. After seeing all these changes for the iPhone 8 camera, Apple would offer a unique system, much more advanced than what exists in Android, the advantage of those from Cupertino will be major for the next years.
