A4Vision Inc. has launched the new Vision Access 3D Face Reader with optional touch screen at ISC West in Las Vegas recently. The Vision Access 3D Face Reader, the world's first sub-second facial identification/verification reader, now incorporates a touch screen option that accommodates PIN and 3D facial biometric access in one device. The reader's LCD screen provides active feedback to users indicating optimal positioning for fast identification; now, the same screen may double as a touch screen pad for verification mode applications.
In a live scenario, the touch screen option would present first. Subjects approaching the A4Vision readers will first be offered the touch screen keypad, while hearing audio requesting PIN entry. Upon valid PIN entry the reader's screen converts to 3D facial recognition mode with active feedback. In PIN verification mode the A4 system first accepts a valid PIN entry and then will reference the 3D face template stored with that number in the Database. The system then verifies that the person belongs with the PIN by matching the stored template to the person standing in front of the 3D Face reader.
"While A4Vision is at the forefront of facial recognition, we endorse multiple factor security and recognise the value to the markets to offer security options with economy, ease of use, and speed," said A4vision director of Product Management Ryan Zlockie. "As biometric identification processing becomes widespread in government, civil ID, and consumer applications, A4Vision's Vision Access 3D Face Reader is ready to meet a wide range of needs and applications within a single product."
