> it's trivial to block the projector and hide the dot pattern. No dot pattern = iPhone thinks the object is far away, which is what happens in landscape photos.
I've never looked at the LiDAR hardware, but where is the emitter in relation to the receiver. Why would the LiDAR not reflect off of whatever you're blocking it with and return a very short flight meaning it was very close?
I think the plan is to block the emitter, not the emitter and the receiver together
Paint the stopper vantablack then.
I knew keeping a pot of vantablack in my jacket pocket would come in handy.
