Face ID most users like it and say they would go back to Touch ID they definitely didn't want to switch. On the contrary, they would welcome it on other devices, which they might get in the future. In addition to the fact that this technology is expected to be used on the new iPads that will be introduced this fall, Face ID could also look at MacBooky. At least that's what one of the patents suggests Appyou.

The first patent application that talks about a Mac recognizing your face even predates the introduction of the iPhone X with the technology. Face ID. It describes a way for the computer to recognize you and log you in automatically, even if it is in sleep mode. In it, the laptop's camera would try to recognize the face of the person sitting in front of it, if it was the right user, it would wake up from sleep Mac prowoke up someone already logged in. Otherwise, it would ignore the person and remain in sleep mode.
Today's new patent application no longer describes the technology in such detail. One of her points only states that a computer can use an algorithm to recognize a face. The rest of the application mainly deals with the use of gestures to control the Mac. Here Apple works with technology from PrimeSense, which previously developed the Kinect sensor for Xbox and which Apple bought in 2013.
A huge number of patent applications for Applu simply belongs to:
“Depth maps can be processed to segment and identify objects in space. The identification of "humanoid forms" (that is, 3D objects whose structure resembles a person) in space and their movement can be used to control a computer" provides a description of the application, which is a bit confusing, but its purpose is clear. The computer could recognize not only the head, but also the body and hands, and we would control the Mac with our movements. Sounds like a scene from many a science fiction movie, doesn't it? But who knows, maybe in a few years we will really see it.
