trinamiX GmbH, a leader in 3D imaging and infrared sensing technologies, announced that its 3D imaging solution for secure face authentication now also works behind OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) displays of mobile devices.
Thereby, trinamiX’s technology succeeds to combine the highest security standards for face authentication with new design freedom and excellent user-experience.
trinamiX added a security layer to face authentication: Its technology captures not only a 2D picture and a 3D depth map of the face but also checks for “live skin” to recognize liveness – in real-time.
Spoofing the unlock system of a smartphone with a realistic full-face mask, 3D sculpture or even a detailed 2D printout becomes virtually impossible.
With real-time authentication, trinamiX guarantees a seamless user experience for face unlock, mobile payments and access control systems.
The hardware consists of just a standard CMOS sensor and a near-infrared light projector. Now the complete system can be mounted behind the smartphone display.
With the ability to bring its secure solution behind OLED displays, trinamiX offers OEMs unmatched new flexibility in smartphone designs, which can now be sleeker and more consumer-friendly. The previously required smartphone notch is made obsolete.
“We are very pleased to usher in this new era together with the smartphone OEMs,“ says Dr. Stefan Metz, director 3D Imaging at trinamiX. “With our technology, users will no longer have to compromise as they benefit from the most secure privacy protection without sacrificing a user-friendly all-screen display.”
trinamiX will showcase a live demo of its 3D imaging solution behind OLED at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai that takes place from Feb. 23-25. Interested parties are highly welcomed to visit the company’s booth in hall N2, D161 or to request a meeting before or during the exhibition.
