face scanner

Identity verification device

A face scanner is a device or software that reads facial features, typically for identification or authentication.

Smartphones use face scanners to unlock, and airports deploy them for passport verification.

The technology maps facial geometry—distance between eyes, nose shape, jawline—to create a unique biometric profile.

The face scanner couldn't recognize me with my new glasses.
