The application has two main requirements: that your mobile has TOF sensor and which includes support for the API Camera2 Android. The first thing you probably know it is one of the standout specifications, but the second is not so common.

Cameras TOF 3D: how it works and why it is so attractive the last great innovation of smartphone photo
Taking into account that the easiest way to test if your mobile supports Camera2 API is to install an app such as Camera2 API Probe to test, almost you can save a step and directly install Night Vision / TOF Viewer.
If you do not have support, it will not work or directly will not allow you to install it from Google Play.
The app itself is extremely simple, to the point that you don’t need to do anything and you only have one option: the resolution. In our test in a Huawei P30 Pro only two resolutions were available: 240 x 180 20 x 15.
This low resolution gives the image a certain tone of Pixel Art, accentuated by the use of color to the thermal imaging camera. Even with all, the result is quite good, bearing in mind that the pictures above have been taken in complete darkness. The colors, by the way, are not random. The red represents the depth information, the green information “in confidence” and the blue-edge detection.
