Face ID on the iPhone X

During the iPhone X presentation event, there was also a less pleasant moment for those from Apple. At the first live demonstration, which should have shown how to unlock an iPhone X with Face ID, things did not go as they should and in the end it was necessary PINto unlock.

What is a Face ID and how does it work?

Many have said that Samsung they came first with unlocking based on the facial fingerprint, but the technology used by those from Samsung proved to be put to the ground by a simple picture or a selfie, capable of unlocking the devices. It was a big failure for the Korean company. Face ID it's completely different. Both as a scanning system and technology.

Face ID is introduced to increase security new devices Apple. Currently, this feature is used only on iPhone X and is supposed to replace Touch ID. footprint. Thanks to the sensors and front chambers, which I have presented above, TrueDepth Camera has the ability to scan face lines and design 30.000 invisible points with the help dot projector. These 30.000 invisible points will make up a 3D image of the face. During the setup process Face ID, the owner of the iPhone will have to rotate the circular head to capture all the lines of the face.
The device will be impossible to unlock by another person, no matter how much it resembles the authorized one. In addition, it is not a problem if foundation or other forms of makeup are used. Since it is a 3D geometric image, the color of the face and other elements that bring "design" changes do not matter.
With the help infrared camera, Face ID can be both set and used on light or dark light.

Apple tells us that Face ID it requires "user attention" to work. If we are not looking at the iPhone or have our eyes closed, the device will not unlock.

The front camera of the iPhone X is truly revolutionary, which is capable of capturing images in HD quality even when we are in low light.

As can be deduced from the name, it's about emoji animate. capable of taking over facial expressions, the movement of the lips, the expression of the eyes and also gestures of the user. Thanks also to the frontal sensors used in the Face ID.
