The bleeding edge of 3D face recognition

(TG Daily) Scientists at the University of Houston are researching an advanced form of 3D facial recognition. They're hoping to prove this technology powerful enough to serve as a foundational security component, one possibly working alongside other biometrics. More secure than PINs, faster and easier than swiping a card, and less invasive than being thumbprinted, 3D facial recognition systems could be the security breakthrough which keeps us all from being chipped.
