So how secure is FaceID actually? It does a 3d scan like the Microsoft Kinect and maybe gathers some more light information in the infrared sprectrum, but that can easily be circumvented with advanced 3D printing.
They even demonstrate that it recognizes you with facial modification like a new beard, a new haircut or a new pair of glasses.
By bet it that this technology is totally overblown and circumvented quickly.
- MBCook 9y agoThey said it's 20 times more secure than touch ID, which since it uses more data I could believe. They also said that they got special-effects artists and other things to work on it and try and make it hard to track. I imagine it's going to take a lot more than a simple 3D printed head to trick. We all knew as soon as this phone is released people are going to start trying to break this, it should be fun to see what people find.
- vernie 9y agoIt's likely exactly like a Kinect since they acquired PrimeSense in 2013.
- cududa 9y agoWith the Kinect "sign in to profile with your face" we made sure the person had a heartbeat - there's minute color fluctuations in your face that actually allow you to discern heart rate/ BPMs. That was using primesense. Apple bought primesense. I'm sure they're doing something similar
