XID Technologies, a Redwood City, California and Singapore-based innovative facial recognition company, 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.

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 http://facelogon.xidtech.com for more information.
