Augmented Reality tech developer WiMi Hologram is developing a 3D holographic pulse lidar. The WiMi HoloPulse LiDAR is aimed at autonomous driving, ADAS and traffic management applications.

WiMi aims to develop its 3D lidar as a solid state device able to detect objects from more than 200 metres away and capture high-resolution 3D holograms. The lidar will use micro-vibrators from microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to provide high resolution, long detection ranges, and wide fields of view. The device will employ dynamic controls to adjust flexibly its vertical resolution and frame rates, including the dynamic definition of focus areas.

The company plans to launch its WiMi HoloPulse LiDAR products in three phases. 

The device will come with its own point cloud interface and not require an additional adapter for connection. 

A software development kit will be available along with the hardware product. This kit will include target detection, categorisation, and measurement. WiMi will integrate software recognition algorithms into WiMi HoloPulse LiDAR adapted to specific applications.
