REDWOOD CITY, CA and SINGAPORE -- 05/07/08 --
XID Technologies, a Redwood
City, California and Singapore-based innovative facial recognition company,
today announced the availability of its new biometric PC access
application, Face LogOn Xpress. Face LogOn Xpress is a user friendly
application that enables PCs to be accessed only by authorized users.
Ideal for both home and office PCs, Face LogOn Xpress uses a simple web
camera to ensure the identity of the user by providing biometric
verification in an automatic, continuous process, based on XID's
award-winning face recognition technology. The new software uses XID's
Face Recognition artificial intelligence technology and learns each time a
user enrolls his or her face, enabling Face LogOn Xpress to develop high
accuracy in varied conditions.
Targeted to computer users seeking to control access to their machines by
verifying identity while logging on in a simple and convenient way, Face
LogOn Xpress can be customized to allow users to control the application's
sensitivity levels. This control ensures accurate face recognition to
address different lighting conditions. Additionally, Face LogOn Xpress
compensates for extreme conditions such as complete darkness by allowing
users to access the PC through the use of a default password instead of the
camera.
XID is a pioneer that is noted for its facial synthesis technology which
detects, recognizes and synthesizes the human face. The company has
developed and commercialized leading-edge face recognition, face synthesis
and face replacement products.
"Face LogOn Xpress is the first offering in XID's Face LogOn product suite,
which will eventually include 3 distinct versions," noted François Belot,
marketing director for XID. "Face LogOn Advanced will offer even more
features and power than Xpress, and FaceLogOn Ultimate will include
professional biometric access control to secure ultra-sensitive data."
Face LogOn Xpress is currently available in English and Chinese, with
versions in French, German, Japanese and Spanish becoming available soon.
XID's facial synthesis and recognition technologies are utilized for
security applications including access control for devices such as PCs, web
cams, mobile phone log ins, as well as physical access/door control. The
company's patented approach to facial recognition using 3D facial synthesis
is the only face recognition solution in the world that is able to function
in outdoor, uncontrolled, real world environments.
Face LogOn Xpress is a shareware program, and can be downloaded free of
charge during a 30-day trial period. Please visit
