Intel’s newly introduced ‘RealSense ID’, an alternative Face ID authentication solution for smart devices like Smart Locks, Access Control, point-of-sale, ATMs, kiosks, and more. Intel RealSense ID uses an active depth sensor with a specialized neural network designed to deliver secure, accurate, and user-conscious face authentication.
“Intel RealSense ID combines purpose-built hardware and software with a dedicated neural network designed to deliver a secure facial authentication platform that users can trust.”
–Sagi Ben Moshe, Intel corporate vice president, and general manager of Emerging Growth and Incubation


Intel RealSense ID provides a highly precise, natural solution that simplifies safe entry with a simple enrollment process and no network setup required. Using just a glance, users can unlock what is important to them easily. Intel RealSense ID integrates active depth with a specialized neural network, a dedicated system-on-chip, and a secure embedded feature to quickly and reliably encrypt and process user data.
As they modify physical features, such as facial hair and glasses, Intel RealSense ID often adapts to users over time. The device works with individuals with a wide variety of heights or complexions under varying lighting conditions.
Since conventional methods of authentication leave users vulnerable to ID theft and security breaches, businesses and people are turning to facial authentication technology to ensure that the highest standards of security and privacy are met. Firms need technology they can trust in industries such as banking, healthcare, and smart access control. Using images, videos, or masks, Intel RealSense ID has built-in anti-spoofing technology to defend against false entry attempts and offers a one-in-1-million false acceptance rate.
Intel RealSense ID, powered by privacy and designed for user security, processes all facial images locally and encrypts all user data. Also, the solution is enabled by user knowledge only and will not authenticate unless prompted by a pre-registered user. We are trying to ensure the ethical implementation of RealSense and the security of human rights, as with all Intel technology.
