This phone goes by face value

omronokao.jpg Indiatimes Infotech has an interesting article on Omron's OKAO face recognition sensor technology, an alternative system to passwords or fingerprint scanners for security and access control.

"The USP of this technology is that the verification process takes less than a second from snapping the photograph. Also, the company claims that there is no need to adjust the camera position while taking the picture. If the face is included in the picture, it will automatically detect the owner's face.

The company claims that the sensor tests successfully more than 99 times in 100."
