Log Into Windows Using Facial Recognition Software

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Jul 26th, 2007 @ 3:10 AM

How cool is this? The BananaScreen software lets you login to your computer using facial recognition software. All you need to use the softare is a PC and a webcam. BanananScreen will lock your computer when you move away from it, and, when you return, BananaScreen unlocks the PC in less time than it would take you to enter a password. To use BananaScreen, there are 3 easy steps: download the software, create your face model, then login! Currently, BananaScreen works on Windows 2000 and XP. Vista support is not guaranteed at the moment, but daring users are reporting that it works for them. (Via LifeHacker)

it works nicely... This is cool but it really is kinda limited and that whole picture issue kinda puts the nail in the coffin. BUT hey... It's free and it does what it says !
