password manager that uses facial
recognition you can't get into your
device unless it recognizes your face
then it fills in your passwords for
different sites so you don't have to
remember them and as soon as true key

around facial hair hairstyles and
glasses we take measurements of over a
hundred different points on the face
facial recognition is also coming to

camera detects that face or an
unfamiliar face you can receive a
customized alert the Nimmi band uses
something inside your body your
heartbeat it reads your
electrocardiogram or the electrical
