Indeed. Seems much more similar to Intel's RealSense L515, which was a tiny Lidar package. 1024x768@30fps, only 9m range thought; 20m/40m outdoors/indoors sounds impressive! I think mine retailed for like $300 at the time?
Am curious what the applications for this are. Is this for drones? is this for auto-focus and or auto tracking? Thinking of Insta360's new addon for their small gimbal, which adds auto tracking; maybe similar uses? https://www.theverge.com/news/614366/insta360-flow-2-pro-ai-... Sony may not really know to be fair!
