Piezoelectric Sensor
Detects changes in pressure, acceleration, temperature, strain, or force by converting them to an electrical charge; can be leveraged in haptic feedback devices.
Light Sensor
Measures ambient light to adjust the display brightness accordingly; provides a better AR experience by controlling the luminance of virtual overlays.
GPS
Provides geolocation and time information; fundamental for location-based AR experiences.
Infrared (IR) Sensor
Emits and detects infrared light to establish spatial relationships; employed in hand tracking and remote control within AR systems.
Magnetometer
Detects magnetic fields; used for compass functionality and detecting the orientation of the device relative to Earth's magnetic field.
Depth Sensor
Measures the distance to objects and constructs 3D maps of environments; important for spatial understanding and interaction in AR.
Microphone
Captures sound; allows for voice commands and audio analysis, improving the interaction with AR systems.
Biometric Sensor
Gathers data on human physiological traits; useful for personalized and secure AR experiences.
Gyroscope
Measures angular velocity; crucial for determining the orientation and rotation of the device.
Time-of-Flight (ToF) Camera
Calculates depth based on the time it takes for light to travel from the sensor to an object and back; fundamental for creating real-time 3D models of environments.
Hall Effect Sensor
Detects magnetic fields; can signal when a foldable or flip-style AR device is opened or closed.
LIDAR Sensor
Uses light detection and ranging to measure distances and create high resolution maps of the environment; enhances AR by adding accurate spatial context.
Force Sensor
Measures the force exerted on a surface; offers possibilities for nuanced interactions in AR environments, such as pressure-based control.
Camera
Captures real-world images; essential for overlaying digital content onto physical environments in AR.
Thermal Sensor
Detects heat and translates it into visible images; can be utilized in AR for specialized applications such as medical or maintenance training.
Proximity Sensor
Detects the presence of nearby objects without physical contact; used to turn off display when users get close to avoid unnecessary interaction.
Pressure Sensor
Measures atmospheric pressure; assists in altitude determination which can enhance vertical location tracking in AR.
Pedometer
Counts the steps taken by the user; helps in fitness and health tracking within AR applications.
Accelerometer
Measures acceleration forces to determine orientation and motion; helps in understanding device movement.
Ultrasonic Sensor
Uses sound waves to measure distance from an object; suitable for close-range detection and localization in AR applications.
