Testing the Accuracy of the iPhone Measuring App

The iPhone's Measure app, which uses AR and LiDAR technology for measurements, is generally accurate within 3-5% for basic tasks like measuring objects or spaces, but less reliable for precise measurements or in challenging conditions such as poor lighting or complex backgrounds. Its accuracy improves with newer iPhone models equipped with LiDAR, but it should not replace traditional measuring tools for critical measurements.

"Maya Underground Structure Discovered in Mexico"

Archaeologists in Mexico have unearthed a mysterious subterranean structure with painted walls beneath a Maya ball court, potentially dating back to the Early Classic period (A.D. 200 to 600). The discovery, made using lidar technology, highlights the significance of the site, which also includes residential buildings, temple pyramids, and other ancient Maya settlements. Further excavations are needed to determine the structure's shape and function.

"Japan's Groundbreaking Space Laser Satellites to Tackle Orbital Debris"

Japanese startup Orbital Lasers plans to use satellite-mounted lasers to decelerate and remove space debris from Earth's orbit, aiming to start operations by 2029. The technology involves emitting a laser beam to vaporize part of the debris' surface, using the impulse to detumble and decelerate the object so it gradually descends towards the atmosphere and burns up. The company claims this method is safe and cost-effective, with potential applications in space-based Lidar technology for creating detailed surface maps. However, concerns about potential misuse of space-borne lasers and the threat of pre-emptive strikes remain.
