New sensors present options for under-display face biometrics on smartphones

Face biometrics have so far been supplied to Android mobile devices in the form of software that makes use of the front-facing camera, in contrast with Apple’s hardware-based 3D face scanning. That could soon change, however, with hardware image sensors emerging as possibilities for integration into smartphones and other electronic devices.

Metalenz has partnered with optoelectronic semiconductor firm Vertilite to launch the new Starlight projector for structured light applications.

Starlight is recommended for 3D face authentication on smartphones, gesture recognition, …
