The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today, providing accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectances, unlike conventional technologies. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m, setting a new benchmark in ranging performance levels, opening the door to various new applications.
Applications
- Obstacle detection in robotics.
- Hand detection in hand driers, soap dispensers, faucets, etc.
- Gesture recognition in one dimension.
- Widely used in-camera autofocus to enhance the camera performance in low light or fast-moving objects conditions.
- Used as a proximity sensor in many phones.
