iPhone X: Facial Identification System?
The iPhone X costs about $ 1,000, that is, $ 300 more than the iPhone 8.
How effective - and practical - is the new method? After all, it is easier to align the finger on the sensor than the face on the phone. There are some factors to consider:
While the androids use photos taken with a two-dimensional camera, the iPhone X uses a 3-D. During the initial configuration, the iPhone instructs the user to rotate the head and can obtain a more complete image of one, which analyzes 30,000 points of the face, to be specific. You can recognize someone even if you wear glasses or a cap, analyzing other parts of the face.
In the android systems, you have to go to the configuration to incorporate the new features.The Apple system, on the other hand, is constantly updated. Each time a person activates the device using facial identification, it automatically incorporates small changes, such as a growing beard or simply natural aging.
Of course all this has a limit. If someone shaves their beards, it's too big a change for the iPhone X to admit. In these cases you have to use a password, but the phone will remember the change next time.
We compared the facial identification of the iPhone X with that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the Google Pixel 2 and LG V30 systems. The V30 improves android technology by asking people to turn their heads slightly during the initial setup, although in practice the Pixel recognition system is superior.
The attire and costumes may affect facial recognition. The phones recognized me with a Santa Claus hat but not with a beard. The winter clothing did not prevent the recognition, as long as the face was not covered by a scarf.
The facial identification of Apple improved under a bright sun and also worked in the dark, thanks to infrared sensors. This is important when someone wakes up in the middle of the night and should check Facebook or Tinder. For the one who keeps the account, Pixel worked under the sun, but not in the dark. With Samsung it was the other way around.
"Samsung also recognized me with a beard. And the iPhone was unlocked after a haircut".
"Only the iPhone and the Pixel recognized me with glasses."
"The Android phones recognized me with a Santa Claus hat but not with a beard."
Apple is offering an interesting way to unlock the new iPhone X: Simply, look at the device. It
is a facial identification system that replaces the sensor that
recognizes the fingerprints, a feature that was present in some models.
