Face ID could be the key to improving the user experience for people with vision problems.
Biometric security arrived on our devices only a few years ago, but now we can’t live without it. Not only is it much more secure than passwords or templates, but it’s much faster. The iPhone, at the time, was one of the first phones to introduce fingerprint security in a user-friendly way with Touch ID. Later they started again with Face ID, able to offer high security thanks to facial recognition
However, this pandemic has taught us that relying on Face ID may not be the most convenient. In a world where we were suddenly forced to wear masks outside our homes, their usefulness has been reduced. There are even those who think that it is better to forget it to recover the Touch ID or bet on other technologies.
Apple patent on the use of Face ID.
In Apple’s case, it seems they have no intention of leaving Face ID behind. In fact, a new patent says they are still considering turning it into more than just a method of unlocking. In the future, Face ID could become of great help for people with vision problems, offering the possibility for the iPhone to adapt to our sight, and not the other way around.
In a document shared by BGR, Apple describes a new feature that, using Face ID technology, would adapt the iPhone screen according to the user’s view. First, the iPhone would be responsible for determining if the user is suffering from a condition such as myopia or astigmatism, and then it would use the Face ID sensors to find out whether or not the user is wearing glasses at that time. -the. Otherwise, the device itself would adapt the interface according to visual needs.
This, although at this time it is nothing more than a patent, could be a breakthrough in accessibility. Apple, which seeks to make it easier for everyone to use its devices, could make the lives of millions of people more comfortable. It could even be essential to offer users even more privacy, with the ability to adapt to polarizing filter glasses to hide the contents of the screen. Of course, this is a patent with great potential, hopefully enough to convince you of its development.
