3D Sensing for Consumer Forum 2020

Yole Events

Shenzhen, China

The second wave of 3D sensing technology: Could Time-of-Flight be the decisive technology for future consumer applications?

The 3rd Yole Développement and CIOE forum on 3D Sensing for Consumer.

After a successful 2nd edition, Yole Développement is proud to collaborate once again with the China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) to organize the 3rd Executive Forum on 3D Sensing for Consumers. It will take place on September 10, 2020 in Shenzhen, alongside the 22th CIOE. This event will present applications and technologies within the 3D sensing industry, and more specifically consumer-oriented solutions.

Android-based mobile device manufacturers have added front depth sensors to their products, and are now striving to enable applications that additionally leverage rear-side-mounted depth sensors.

So far, at least, these new applications are predominantly photography-related. In the near future, however, they’re expected to further expand into augmented reality, virtual reality and other applications, following in the footsteps of Google’s trendsetting Project Tango experiment of a few years ago. Yole Développement will describe the application roadmap, market value and cost of these highly anticipated mobile 3D sensing modules. With rumors suggesting that time-of-flight camera modules will also begin appearing on the rear sides of iPhones, we will see the impact on the business.

The new iPhone should be released by Apple on the day of this Forum, so join us and participate to this event to get the latest information about this exciting industry!

3D imaging and sensing: Mid-2020 review

Richard Liu

Imaging Market & Technology Analyst at Yole Développement

It has been more than half a year since 2020, let’s review the development of 3D market in the past six months. First of all, we will review the market of mobile phone, and then talk about was the "web celebrity" product, the consumer LiDAR module, from have already released the iPad pro and the upcoming iPhone 12, what significant impact will it have on the supply chain and applications? Automotive is another important market for 3D imaging and Sensing, which is also the most anticipated market of LiDAR products. What are its new updates?We will share the new information that we have learned. 2020 is a very special year, that's the world epidemic of COVID-19 and Its impact is huge and far-reaching. Last, let’s talk abou this impact on this market, hoping to give you an understanding of how the 3D market evolving in particular situations.

Technology and Cost Review of 3D Sensing in Smartphones

Taha Ayari

Technology & Cost Analyst, Compound Semiconductor at System Plus Consulting

3D Sensing has been introduced on the smartphone market a few years ago, but since late 2017 and the release of the iPhone X with Face ID a lot of companies have been investigating this space. Most of the OEM have now integrated 3D sensing, for face recognition or depth sensing. Integrating these modules is very challenging due to the limited space and the related cost. Two approaches have been considered in smartphone applications: Structured Light (SL) and Time-of-Flight (ToF). SL was developed by Apple and it is based on a complex system requiring several components, including a Global Shutter (GS) image sensor and a dot projector. The latter has been considered difficult and expensive to make due to the precision required. The ToF approach could be less complex and less expensive due to the only need of a ToF Image sensor and a flood illuminator to bring depth sensing to a system. Based on pictures extracted from physical analysis of several 3D sensing modules found in flagship smartphones from the leading OEMs, this presentation will highlight the latest technological trends for the key components and the evolutions in term of manufacturing process and package integration. A cost comparison at the module and component levels will be presented as well.

3:10 pm - 3:35 pm

浅谈TOF那些事儿 Let's talk about the ToF sensing technology

Jianfeng Feng

3D Product Manager at Sunny Optical

With the development of digital imaging technology, as one of the three mainstream solutions in the field of 3D depth vision, ToF technology frequently appears in a variety of mobile phone products. We will introduce the working principle of ToF technology in detail, analyze the rise of the demand-side market and the attentions for ToF products. We’ll share the advantages of system-level ToF solutions, and our expectations on the future development of ToF technology.

3:35 pm - 4:00 pm

Time-of-Flight is here to stay, but where is it going?

Dr. Bernd Buxbaum

CEO and Founder at pmdtechnologies ag and Executive Board Member at ifm group of companies

In his presentation Dr. Bernd Buxbaum, CEO at pmdtechnologies ag will give a deep dive into the future developments of 3D depth sensing with special attention to the Time-of-Flight technology and the pmd principle which he co-developed 20 years ago. After a small lookback to the early developments and breakthroughs that paved the way for today's technological advances, he will focus on the three different markets Consumer, Industrial and Automotive. Exemplarily he will give a detailed overview on how the integration of 3D-cameras has enhance products and applications in these markets. Further, he will give an outlook into the future of Time-of-Flight depth sensing, technological developments, current challenges and its potential for major markets and products.
