> Bigscreen needs to take the time and money to develop an Android or PC webcam solution. I don't really know if it's possible to get the accuracy out of a simple webcam that the IR blaster/FaceID hardware can get. Sure you can do facial comparisons to unlock the phone, but that doesn't give you as detailed geometry as the Face ID hardware does.

With a webcam, performance would unavoidably vary a lot between customers too due to the dizzyingly wide selection of webcams in use, all with differing performance characteristics. They'd have to contend with everything from USB webcams from 2002 up through the latest 4k webcams, not to mention image processing quirks those often come with like face smoothing.
