According to LIPS, the device \u2018aims squarely at providing an iPhone X Face ID-like unlock feature for the Android platform as well as mobile 3D scanning\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">As shown in the video clip above, the solution currently comprises both software and hardware components, including an \u2018active stereo-based depth camera\u2019 designed to be attached to the phone\u2019s USB port.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The camera, about the same width and thickness as the phone, performs general 3D scanning and also 3D facial recognition using infrared laser projection coupled with a pair of sensors which enable the required depth information to be computed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">While an add-on device such as this may be useful for those in the market for a plug-in 3D scanner, the facial unlocking feature doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense if it relies on connecting an external device in order to unlock the phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">However, by the second quarter of this year LIPS hopes to have completed a smaller and thinner version of the module designed to fit inside future Android handsets which would then be able to scan 3D objects directly as well as unlocking with a facial recognition system similar to Apple\u2019s Face ID.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Founded in 2013, LIPS designs and customises depth-sensing 3D cameras and scanners along with the middleware needed to integrate it into third party-devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/paulmonckton\/2018\/01\/30\/android-phones-promised-iphone-xs-best-feature\/#5917543659aa<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/iphone-x-best-feature-promised-android-smartphones.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iPhone X Best Feature Promised For Android Smartphones Smartphone users envious of the iPhone X\u2019s facial unlocking feature may not have to wait much longer, thanks to a new solution designed for Android handsets.
