Summary:
- LiDAR sensors, which are used in many smartphones for features like augmented reality and 3D scanning, can potentially be damaged by bright light sources like the sun.
- Exposure to intense light can overheat the LiDAR sensor and cause permanent damage, reducing its functionality or rendering it unusable.
- Smartphone users should avoid pointing their device's LiDAR sensor directly at the sun or other bright light sources to prevent this issue and ensure the long-term reliability of the technology.
