What is LiDAR Scanner in iPad Pro?
The breakthrough introduction of LiDAR Scanner embedded in iPad Pro works with the pro camera to improve the motion captures. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a method that uses light to measure distance by calculating time difference light takes to reach an object and reflect back. The integration of LiDAR Scanner with other elements of iPad Pro is expected to illuminate a new class of AR (Augmented Reality). For instance, it can easily calculate someone’s height, also showing other vertical and edge guides.

The device runs on powerful iPad OS relying on built-in apps as an advantage. The hardware and software combine together to make this iPad a multi-tasker.
