Your face is your password with Bioscrypt’s VisionAccess 3D DeskCam
Filed under: Digital Cameras, Misc. Gadgets
Being touted in what sounds like patent-speak as the “world’s first 3D face recognition camera for use in authenticating individuals accessing a computer,” security firm Bioscrypt Inc’s upcoming VisionAccess 3D DeskCam promises to enable sub-second logins to applications, networks, and websites with just a quick glance at your ugly mug. The webcam-looking device (which we assume can also be used as an, um, webcam) looks for 40,000 identification points to verify authenticity, and is said to be capable of not just accounting for facial hair (or the lack thereof), but actually distinguishing between identical twins. That nose job you’re planning, however, will require you to re-register. While the system — which is scheduled to ship in the second half of the year — sounds fairly promising and convenient, for safety’s sake we’ll be sticking with our trusty fingerprint scanners; after all, we still have seven fingers left, but only one head.
