LiDAR Camera Also Shown From Our Perspective, but It Is Less Accurate Than the TrueDepth Variant When Capturing Face Data
The LiDAR camera, which is present at the backside of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, is also shown to be capturing imaging data. Twitter user @Wilson_boi_101 shows how this is possible through our eyes with the use of an app called Night Vision LIDAR Camera. With the app, you can also spot the differences between the TrueDepth and LiDAR cameras.

The TrueDepth camera is required to be more accurate because it helps fuel Apple’s Face ID feature, which has been present since the iPhone X.

If you want to see how a TrueDepth camera captures and displays data from your perspective, you too can download the Night Vision LIDAR Camera app from the App Store, and it only costs $0.99. In case you are wondering, it is also compatible with the iPad Pro lineup, at least those models that feature a LiDAR sensor. News Source: @Wilson_boi_101
