Optical sensor developer Metalenz has formed a partnership with 3D sensing system supplier Dilusense to enable ultra-secure facial recognition to be built into smart locks and payment kiosks.
The companies say the next-generation biometric products are the first to be mass-produced with Metalenz’ structured-light meta-optics.
The smartlocks are intended for high-end residential and commercial building access control, while the payment kiosks will be deployed by retailers and in vending machines across China.
Both utilize the Orion meta-optic dot projector, which Metalenz claims delivers unmatched dot-contrast, pattern precision and diffraction efficiency. The Orion uses 30,000 precise laser dots to deliver enhanced facial recognition performance, according to the announcement.
