What is optical camera communication?

Optical camera communication refers to the use of visible light emitted by a camera's flash to transmit data to a receiver that captures this light signal. This technology enables communication between devices using low-cost cameras and existing lighting infrastructure, offering secure, low-power, and high-bandwidth communication capabilities. It is particularly useful in areas where traditional wireless communication methods may be restricted or congested. With the potential to revolutionize the way devices communicate with each other, optical camera communication shows promise in various applications, including indoor positioning, augmented reality, and data sharing.
