1/2 LiDAR's rarely used? Nope. Guess what? Even the @Yankees use it for certain situations like precise ballpark scans! Ever heard someone say LiDAR measures light?🔦 Well, weirdly, it doesn't! It actually measures TIME. Like a laser stopwatch mapping the world in 3D.

2/2 How? Well, light speed is contant so... LiDAR laser pulses, they time their echoes thrown and back.⏱️ Like a fast ball and then to first base. From Yankee Stadium layouts to flood risk maps, it’s all about timing. Very interesting tech indeed! Follow or repost!
