Wasn't the kinect susceptible to infrared interference such as from sun light? Question is, will there be issues with face unlock in bright sunlight.

- mcphage 9y agoI guess it's possible that Apple never considered the Sun when they were designing this.
- rmrfrmrf 9y agoBlasted edge cases!
- sytelus 9y agoAnother one: If you see someone's phone lying around, just stare at it few times and see if yo disabled their FaceID without ever touching it :)
- sschueller 9y agoWould not be first time. Antenna Gate, Bend Gate...
- samstave 9y agoApple hates Sun. That's why they built their OS on BSD.... /s
- skeletonjelly 9y agoApple in 2018: Ever since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun. We shall do the next best thing: block it out.
- kibibyte 9y agoFor what it's worth, I sometimes have trouble getting my Surface (one of the ones with Windows Hello) to recognize me when I'm in my apartment and the bright sun is shining through. I've never tried using it outdoors (not that the reflective glass would be encouraging of that), so I can't really speak on that.
- namuol 9y agoThey showed videos of people using it in bright sunlight as well as in the dark. If they used a variety of frequencies alternating at some known sequence or something it should be possible to differentiate signal from noise, but I have no idea what I'm talking about.
- Shivetya 9y agoI thought the MS Surface already had facial recognition unlock, so how are the stories of it in sunlight? my issue with facial recognition on the phone is, will it try to unlock if I am just reading notifications/texts? not something I want it to do.
