Is Chrome OS getting facial recognition?

Google Pixelbook

It might be easier to sign into Chrome OS soon, if the discovered code is any indication. Chrome Story spotted the possibility of Google developing facial recognition feature for its desktop operating system. There’s even mention of Intel Face Engine, which suggests this might be what would drive the feature on Chrome OS devices. But this also means it would need special hardware to get this to work because implementing this with just a front-facing camera won’t be that secure. Google hasn’t confirmed this feature but if it will come we might expect it to show up in the next generation Pixelbook.

OnePlus 5 to get the 5T’s facial unlock feature

As a Christmas gift of sorts and response to demand by its customers, OnePlus is bringing the facial unlock feature from the OnePlus 5T into the OnePlus 5. The company’s co-founder Carl Pei made the announcement on Twitter. Although he didn’t say when OnePlus 5 users can expect the feature to head their way. The facial unlock capabilities of the OnePlus 5T are considered to be a simpler approach to what the iPhone X does since it just makes use of the front-facing camera. It also means it’s less secure. But if you want to quickly get into your device, this is one way to do just that.
