XID Technologies has launched its new biometric PC access application, Face LogOn Xpress, a user friendly solution that enables PCs to be accessed only by authorized users.
By using a simple web camera, Face LogOn Xpress ensures the identity of the user by providing biometric verification in an automatic, continuous process, based on XID's award-winning face recognition technology. Face LogOn Xpress uses XID's Face Recognition artificial intelligence technology and learns each time a user enrolls his or her face. This capability enables the solution to develop high accuracy in varied conditions.
XID Technologies’ Face LogOn Xpress is a shareware program, and can be downloaded free of charge during a 30-day trial period, and is currently available in English and Chinese. The company intends to launch the versions in French, German, Japanese and Spanish in the near future.
Ideal for both home and office PCs, Face LogOn Xpress is targeted to computer users who want to control access to their machines by verifying identity while logging on in a simple and convenient way. Because Face LogOn Xpress can be customized, it allows users to control the application's sensitivity levels ensuring accurate face recognition to address different lighting conditions. The solution also allows users to access the PC through the use of a default password instead of the camera. This compensates for extreme conditions such as complete darkness.
François Belot, marketing director for XID said in a statement that Face LogOn Xpress is the first offering in XID's Face LogOn product suite, which will eventually include three distinct versions. He added that Face LogOn Advanced will offer even more features and power than Xpress, and FaceLogOn Ultimate will include professional biometric access control to secure ultra-sensitive data.
XID is a pioneer in facial synthesis technology which detects, recognizes and synthesizes the human face. The company has developed and commercialized face recognition, face synthesis and face replacement products. Currently, XID's facial synthesis and recognition technologies are used for security applications including access control for devices such as PCs, web cams, mobile phone log ins, as well as physical access/door control.
XID claims that their patented approach to facial recognition using 3D facial synthesis is the only face recognition solution in the world that is able to function in outdoor, uncontrolled, real world environments.
