After the iPhone X, what is the value of 3D sensing?

According to James Consulting, Apple introduced the 3D sensing module in the iPhone X phone and added the "neural network engine" to its A11 biochip. The 3D sensing module helps record 3D data, and the A11 chip can process large amounts of data, helping iPhone X learn and recognize various facial details and expressions. Even if the user's appearance changes, these modules ensure correct identification, making forgery more difficult.

The iPhone 3's built-in 3D sensing module not only increases the accuracy of facial recognition, but also enhances the camera's camera performance and augmented reality (AR) experience.

iPhone X: Recording of front camera 3D data with 3D sensing module

The iPhone X's 3D sensing module captures depth data, making the iPhone X source more powerful. Therefore, even the most basic front camera (7 million pixels) can provide functions such as portrait mode and portrait lighting.

Portrait lighting is different from filters. Instead, it provides real-time analysis and simulation based on actual brightness. In addition, the iPhone X's infrared camera captures more depth data, and its AR features stand out more than the iPhone 8 Plus, which only embeds wide-angle and telephoto lenses. In short, the iPhone X already has a 3D camera concept, and most of the competitor's smartphones on the market are still at the stage of recording 2D information.

The basic structure of the 3D sensing module

Currently, iPhone X's 3D sensing applications include two categories, one for biometrics and verification, and the other for camera performance enhancement and AR effects. The future of 3D sensing can be found in the history of Kinect, which uses modules similar to the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera. Kinect allows players to interface through voice commands and gestures. In theory, TrueDepth cameras (in combination with existing speakers) can perform similar functions through software updates. Therefore, iPhone X's 3D sensing may mean the introduction of a new generation of human-computer interaction interfaces for smartphones in the future.

Android (Android) mobile phone: face recognition solution is another way

Whether 3D sensing will become the standard for future smartphones is unknown, but there is no doubt that iPhone X has set off a wave of face recognition in the smartphone market. In terms of the Android camp, brands such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and ZTE launched a new mobile phone with facial recognition function in 2017.

However, their product solutions are fundamentally different from iPhone X in terms of concepts and practices. The iPhone X uses additional hardware components to collect depth data to improve recognition accuracy, but the Face++ solution used in Android phones is software-based and only uses existing front-facing cameras. These products using the Face++ solution are much less accurate than the iPhone X, so they still retain fingerprint recognition to improve phone security.

3D Sensing's higher market penetration depends on Android phones

3D sensing is a flash in the pan, or a standard for future smartphones, depending on the Android phone. The market response and availability of 3D sensing modules will be a key determinant of whether Android phones use this technology. At the current stage, we think it is too early to judge whether facial recognition will become the standard for mobile phones. If the customer can't give positive feedback, the Android camp is unlikely to follow suit. Instead, they can focus on optimizing fingerprinting technologies (such as under-display screen fingerprinting solutions) to capture the pioneering advantage. The application of 3D sensing modules is not limited to face recognition, and there are many possibilities worth exploring. Therefore, 3D sensing and fingerprint recognition do not conflict with each other, but it is conducive to the long-term development of 3D sensing technology.

The iPhone X's 3D sensing module predicts costs ranging from $18 to $24, but the Android brand that can pass such high costs to consumers is very limited. In addition, there are still technical barriers to the assembly of 3D sensing modules, and even Apple itself is struggling in the middle of the assembly process. Therefore, the key to the large-scale adoption of 3D sensing modules for Android phones is to find suppliers with high yield, complete solutions, mass production, and stable and reliable.
