Key quotes
· 4 pulledIt's called the Photon Matrix, and it uses lasers to track and kill airborne mosquitoes.
The Chinese-designed device is claimed to be capable of detecting a mosquito and gauging its distance, orientation and body size within just 3 milliseconds.
It does so using a LiDAR (light detection and ranging) module which determines the locations of objects by emitting laser light pulses.
Currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, the Chinese-designed device is claimed to be capable of detecting a mosquito and gauging its distance, orientation and body size within just 3 milliseconds.
