This application can help smartphones with ToF cameras see through the night

The Night Vision application will help the smartphone's ToF camera to read the depth data of the surroundings and create 3D maps of the environment, or simply understand the ability to see through the night.

Currently, many smartphones are equipped with Time-of-Flight camera (ToF) to increase the ability to remove fonts when taking photos. However, a new application called Night Vision will help the smartphone's ToF camera read data about the depth of the environment and create 3D maps of the environment, or simply understand the ability to see through night.

You may not know, Time-of-Flight camera (ToF), is a 'shortened' version of the sonar scanner - the type of scanner commonly used to detect objects and measure below the water surface. The camera will emit infrared beams, which will affect physical objects and then reflect back on the hardware. Based on the measured parameters of the travel time of the infrared beam escaping from the sensor and returning to create a 3D map, which best represents the subject image.

According to XDA Developer, the Night Vision application currently only works with smartphones that support Camera2 API. Therefore, the Galaxy S10 5G, even with the ToF camera, cannot use Night Vision.

The video below captures the Night Vision testing process with ToF camera on Huawei P30 Pro to create a 3D map of your room. You can still see details inside the room even though it's dark.

Another application is also very interesting when combining the ToF camea and AR technology so you can interact with the environment. However, this app has a high price of 100USD, if you are interested, you can download the free version for trial and experience under the link below.
