.......AUGMENTING AUGMENTED REALITY
This may be true, but the rear of the phone is where the real action is for 3D lasers. The lasers are a huge part of Apple’s AR story. Right now, ARKit apps rely only on the single iPhone camera to picture and measure the real world into which digital content is placed. While the resulting experience is already surprisingly good, the addition of a 3D laser system on the back of the phone would dramatically improve the depth measurement part, and would make the AR even more lifelike.......................

......ABOUT THE VENDORS
Our source says Lumentum will be providing the bulk of the VCSEL lasers for the new iPhone, while Finisar and II-VI (pronounced “two-six”) will contend for a smaller share. Apple has already qualified all three companies as potential suppliers, the source says. In June, executives at both Lumentum and Finisar discussed parts orders in coming quarters of such scale that some analysts surmise that they could have come only from Apple.

The TOF sensor will come from STMicro, Infineon, or AMS, the source says. Apple will likely buy the whole system in module form from either LG Innotek, STMicro, AMS, or Foxconn, said the source.

VCSEL laser systems calculate the distance the light travels from the laser to the target and back to the sensor, and generate a Time of Flight (TOF) measurement. The system consists of a source (the VCSEL laser), a lens, detector (sensor), and a processor. The whole thing costs about $2 per phone, our source says.

Essentially, the laser sends out beams of light that bounce off objects and help identify the depth of each object. For augmented reality, this means that things would become even more lifelike. Whereas for camera tech, the lens can better focus on a specific aspect of the filed of view.

Daijavu - don't forget the midday and the periodic EDSP (witching) auctions - see page 3 .

[hammerd2] 13/7/2017 08:19

It would be nice for local business and the CS cluster if it were in Newport grity but the expansion will happen in US facility if not approved here. I'd put my house on it being approved here though.

[grity] 13/7/2017 07:42

Decision on the planning for the
new site at the LG site should be made
On Friday , if positive should give
a bit of a push up .

daijavu - 'other insiders' LOL

Anyone who trades DMA can join the auction period.

[daijavu] 13/7/2017 07:25

The mms and, possibly, other insiders get access to the auctions.

[daijavu] 13/7/2017 07:21

There is also an auction of shares each morning before trading begins.

[rutter] 13/7/2017 07:20

thanks daijavu. Still not fully understanding. However there were about 300,000 shares posted after the close so let's see. Once again, that graph looks positive

[daijavu] 12/7/2017 23:30

Rutter. There is an auction after the end of every day's trade.

[aimingupward2] 12/7/2017 23:07

Peut-etre. Je ne suis pas de tout sure, quand meme.

[rutter] 12/7/2017 22:06

Graph looks most encouraging. Surely one can't buy or sell after the close. They were worked through and late reported trades n'est ce pas

[aimingupward2] 12/7/2017 19:31

Substantial buying in the half hour or so after the close today. Bodes well for the share price tomorrow.

[someuwin] 12/7/2017 16:25

MACOM hitting new highs.

[bocase] 12/7/2017 11:26

Well spotted, someuwin. It is nice to see some fresh news.

"Without confirming that's what the front-facing 3D sensor is for, my source says Apple has been struggling to get the sensor to work reliably."

[sheep_herder] 12/7/2017 08:20

tonsil, I'm just bored of people making factually incorrect statements with sweeping generalisations.
