# builtInLiDARDepthCamera

A device that consists of two cameras, one LiDAR and one YUV.

```
static let builtInLiDARDepthCamera: AVCaptureDevice.DeviceType
```

## Discussion

The LiDAR camera provides high-quality, high-accuracy depth information by measuring the round trip of an artificial light signal that a laser emits. The device synchronizes and perspective-corrects this data to frames that the YUV camera produces. While the resolution of the depth data and YUV frames may differ, their field of view and aspect ratio always match.
