face scanning
Automated identity verification
Face scanning is the use of technology to capture and analyze facial features, typically for identification or authentication.
Security systems use face scanning to unlock devices or verify identity.
The technology maps facial geometry—distance between eyes, jawline shape, nose contours—creating a unique biometric profile.
My phone uses face scanning instead of a passcode.
