I watched the livestream and they said their hardware is "Camera Safe". I am not sure if camera safe and eye safe are correlated, but I would hope/expect that they would not release something that isn't known to be eye safe. I guess it's possible that the long term effects could prove bad, and we will all end up getting "Lidar Eye" dead spots in our vision.
- dylan604 10mo agoDigital camera sensors are much more sensitive than eyeballs, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that it won't leave a permanent line across your eyeball like it can to a camera sensor
- slashdave 10mo agoLidar Eye? No, how the heck would that happen? I mean, there is a dangerous source of light outside (we call it the "sun"), and yet we manage fine.
- airstrike 10mo agoI mean, technically the Sun is "above" us and the LIDARs are at...eye level? So not exactly the same, at least to my layman eyes
- Rebelgecko 10mo agoYour body has signs to knock it off when you're staring at the sun, does it do the same thing for Lidar?
