Face recognition is coming

And you thought your face was just for your identity..now it might be for security too, if Apple Inc. has anything to say about it. Now it might allow you to access your Apple products, such as iphone, ipod,  iPad etc. An Apple patent app released recently tells of a facial comparison system that requires small computational energy, and works in most light conditions conveniently.


The system works by showing a recent image of your cute face to a profile made using sections of the human face, such as eyes and nose etc. It basically will take a snapshot and compare in the database. It is just an app, so it won’t be part of the actuial iOS anytime in the near future.

Noteworthy::  Apple beat Google and Motorola to the punch  (Android) with this patent application a long time ago.
