Overview

Applications

Laser scanner is the foundation to three primary application sectors

3D Sensing/Perception

ㆍLiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) for autonomous vehicles
ㆍ3D perception for industrial automation and robot vision
ㆍBiomedical imaging (OCT, confocal imaging)

Smart display

ㆍAR/MR (Augmented Reality / Mixed Reality)
ㆍHUD (Head-Up Display)
ㆍPico projection display

Manufacturing

ㆍ3D printer
ㆍLaser ablation

As 5G technology recently emerges

The aforementioned applications are expected to expand in the 5G industries and service markets due to their surprisingly high performance in mobility, data rates, device connectivity and latency.
