Polar ID Biometric Security System

Polar ID is a comprehensive biometric security solution designed for smartphones and beyond, featuring the unique ability to sense the full polarization state of light. This system enhances biometric recognition by using advanced meta-optic technology, allowing it to capture the distinctive 'polarization signature' of a human face. This capability provides a robust defense against sophisticated 3D masks and spoofing attempts, making it a leading choice for secure facial authentication. Polar ID eliminates the need for complex optical modules typical in structured light systems and does not rely on expensive time-of-flight sensors. By delivering all necessary information from a single image, Polar ID streamlines the authentication process, significantly reducing the size and cost of the system. It provides high-resolution recognition across various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to total darkness, ensuring a reliable and secure experience for users. Employing Polar ID, manufacturers can enable secure digital transactions and access controls without compromising on user experience or device aesthetics. By operating seamlessly even when users wear sunglasses or face masks, this system sets a new standard in facial recognition technology. Its compact design fits easily into the most challenging form factors, making it accessible for a wide range of mobile devices.

Orion Family of Pattern Projectors

The Orion Family of Pattern Projectors represents Metalenz's innovation in 3D depth sensing technologies. Engineered to deliver the highest performance in the most compact form, these projectors are capable of creating a wide range of patterns from a single meta-optic. Whether it is dots, lines, or broad illumination, the Orion projectors are suitable for various applications in smartphones, robotics, AR/VR, and IoT devices. Orion pattern projectors utilize a unique pseudorandom meta-optic, allowing them to achieve high contrast and bright light patterns across indoor and outdoor environments. This technology supports structured light and time-of-flight applications, exceeding the capabilities of conventional optics by reducing the number of required elements from multiple lenses to a single optic surface. This reduces manufacturing complexity and enhances integration flexibility. The advanced design of the Orion projectors offers a significant reduction in module height, making them ideal for compact settings. They provide superior pattern precision and are thermally stable for use in a broad range of environments. Such innovations position Metalenz's Orion pattern projectors as a leading solution for enhancing the depth-sensing communications necessary in modern electronic devices.
