Interactive LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology is a type of LiDAR system that allows users to actively interact with the real-time data collected by the LIDAR sensor. This means that as the sensor scans its surroundings, users can manipulate and view the resulting data in real time, allowing for more accurate and responsive decision-making.
Interactive LiDAR systems typically use a combination of hardware and software to achieve this functionality. The hardware typically consists of a laser emitter, a scanner or mirror system to direct the laser beams, and a sensor to detect the reflected light and generate distance measurements. The software then processes these measurements to create detailed maps or models of the scanned objects or environments.
One key application of interactive LiDAR is in robotics and autonomous vehicles. By using Interactive LiDAR sensors that can be actively controlled, robots and self-driving cars can be programmed to scan their surroundings and selectively focus on objects or obstacles that require closer examination.
Another application of interactive LiDAR is in the field of virtual and augmented reality. By using Interactive LiDAR sensors that can track users’ movements and interactively map their surroundings, developers can create immersive visual experiences that are highly responsive to user input and provide a greater sense of realism and interactivity.
Interactive LiDAR technology has numerous potential applications in fields such as robotics, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring, and is expected to become increasingly important as LiDAR systems continue to improve and become more widely used.
