Vivo’s 3D face unlock tech will be able to authenticate users upto 3 metres away

With face recognition conquered, Vivo is looking to do full body scans for its beautification AI. But, with its new tech, Vivo is apparently going to use 3,00,000 sensor points on its Face ID, which is 10 times the number used in Apple’s Face ID on the iPhone X, which projects 30,000 IR dots on a user’s face. Vivo showed off this tech at the MWC Shanghai this week, and has essentially single-handedly stepped up the Android game against Apple’s Face ID. “By combining TOF 3D Sensing Technology with AI, we will continue to explore new possibilities for a better future,” The Verge quoted Alex Feng, a senior executive at Vivo, saying at the event. Finally, other than the obvious application of more a better and more precise biometric authentication, and ever better portrait selfies, Vivo’s new sensor could also be used for gesture and motion recognition.
