Apple brings Face ID technology to Macs
Apple is also preparing to
bring the Face ID face recognition feature used on iPhones to Mac models.
As the number of people
using smartphones has increased exponentially in recent years, security
measures have come to the fore. Many smartphone manufacturers have
developed their own security measures and added them to the phones.
Apple, one of these
manufacturers, officially introduced Face ID technology with the iPhone X model
it launched in 2017.
Face ID, Apple's face
recognition technology, enables users to perform operations such as screen
unlock or authentication with their faces.
Reviewing the beta version
of macOS published by Apple, the developers came across various
facial recognition codes such as "FaceDetect" and
"BioCapture". These features show that Apple will be introducing
a new face recognition feature on Mac models.
It seems that it will
take some time to launch FaceID for Mac, which is currently under
development.
Blending the Apple-developed
technologies such as TrueDepth camera, Secure Enclave and Neural Engine, Face
ID creates a depth map of your face and makes various analyzes and creates the
mathematical model of your face.
Then, every time you turn
on your phone with Face ID face lock, these processes are repeated and the
system renews itself. For example, even if any changes occur on your face
(hair, beard, makeup), the system can easily recognize you.
The reason for the process
to run so fast is the processor in Apple's new iPhone
models. The Neural Engine engine inside this
processor speeds up the process as you may not notice by doing 5 trillion
operations per second.
Therefore,
the Neural Engine engine is expected to be used in new Mac models.
