Video theme: approximate distance estimates and audible proximity feedback. The recording lasts 1 minute 34 seconds and shows the English Lumyeye Pro interface on an iPhone.
Ask for an approximate distance
The demonstration begins with a presenter explaining the distance feature. In the practical sequence, the phone faces a large blue container in a courtyard. The user requests a distance, and Lumyeye Pro displays a reply of 2 meters and 5 centimeters.
That number belongs to this recording and this phone position. It illustrates the form of the response: the user can request a distance and receive a spoken result. The introduction distinguishes LiDAR-equipped iPhones from approximate Android estimates. The filmed iPhone sequence is a single example, not a measurement-accuracy test.
Activate the audible beep mode
The user then requests “Beep beep.” The app confirms that LiDAR beep mode is active and displays the instruction to double-tap to stop. The recording continues as the phone is brought closer to the container.
The official distance and beeps guide explains the sound pattern: beeps become faster as the user approaches an object in front of the phone. The video brings together the spoken distance request and this continuous audible feedback, so viewers can compare the two ways of receiving proximity information.
Check the phone requirements
The recorded screen identifies this as a LiDAR mode. The user guide specifies a compatible iPhone Pro or Pro Max with LiDAR for these distance functions. Check your device before trying to reproduce the sequence; distance capabilities depend on the phone.
The same guide advises continuing to use your usual mobility aids and paying attention to your surroundings. These cues provide additional information about an object in front of the phone. Keep that role in mind when watching the demonstration or trying it in a familiar space.

Compare distance cues with object search
A distance reading answers how far away something is in front of the phone. Another video follows a different task: identifying a black bag and following the app’s guidance towards it. Read our Indoor Vision bag-search article to see that sequence.
