No, because it's an active rather than passive light sensor, it works in the dark.
Edit: also, the fact that you can see a green dot heavily implies the sensor is operating in the green wavelengths, not in the infrared, but that's secondary.
- adrian_b 3y agoWhile you are right about the active light sensor, it is likely that the sensor really works in the infrared. The green laser beam must be in addition to the infrared beam, with the purpose of allowing a human to choose the aiming spot.
- MayeulC 3y agoThey say the green drop is actually lowered after ranging, so the user knows how to aim with the gravity-induced drop. Pretty cool :)
- jdlshore 3y agoIt uses LiDAR. The green dot is an aiming laser for the human, and is calculated from the LiDAR result.
