face scan

Visage recognition technology

A face scan is the digital capture and mapping of facial features, typically for identification or authentication purposes.

Your phone may unlock via face scan, comparing your features against stored data.

Face scans also appear in security systems, border control, and increasingly in retail settings.

The technology raises privacy concerns about surveillance and data collection.
