We are excited to announce the publication of a survey on Visible Light Sensing (VLS) by Morteza Alijani, Cedric De Cock, Wout Joseph, and David Plets in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials (IF: 34.4). This paper provides an in-depth exploration of the evolution and potential of device-free VLS (DF-VLS) systems, focusing on their role in 6G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). It examines key techniques, applications, and challenges, offering a roadmap for the future development of this transformative technology. Access the open-access paper here. (March 2025)
