9) It can be used to measure someone’s height.
One of the most fun features of the Iphone 12 is that it can be used to measure the height of something or someone. The iPhone 12 uses a Lidar Scanner which follows a similar working principle to that of an “IR-Blaster”. The lidar scanner emits short-ranged laser pulses towards an object and records the reflection quotient. Then the software analyses that reflection quotient and finds out the length of an object.
To use the Lidar Scanner:-
- Open the “Measure” app on your iPhone 12.
- A camera-like module will open.
- Position your device in such a way that it can capture the whole of an object in one frame.
Now, you just have to wait for the app to finish synthesizing all information and the height of the object/ person will appear on the screen within a few seconds.
