## What is LiDAR Sense?

Feel and Hear the space around you. 

Hold your device in front of you, and point with the rear-facing LiDAR Sensor. The closer something is to your device, the stronger it will vibrate, the louder it will sound. 

Hear the Spatial position with AirPods Pro / Max. Swing and tilt your device in all directions, and the Spatial sound match it's position. Without Spatial audio, sounds will appear Mono. 

Adjust Vibration & Sound ranges up to 8 Meters.

iPad does not have vibration hardware. LiDAR Sense on iPad features audio only.

### 5/5 — Very Cool

*2024-10-05*

Would love to see a screen off mode or some way to just black out the screen. Doesn’t have to be in operation while locked, just a black screen so we can get a better “see in the dark” type experience.
