In it, the host gets a 3 pin laser diode module and uses it to perform distance measurements.
It involves the laser interfering with itself and modulating the signal produced by the integrated photodetector.

Into what?
Besides... those companies are pretty good in privacy, they take the hell out of our data pretty privately without saying a simple word.
If the sentence refers to our privacy... again... into what?

If you've ever managed any software project, you've probably asked yourself: how could our teams move faster? How fast are we moving today? Because the US is still on Imperial?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
