Polar ID Biometric Security System

The Polar ID Biometric Security System offers an advanced, secure face unlock capability for smartphones, utilizing groundbreaking meta-optics technology to capture the full polarization state of light. Unlike traditional biometric systems, Polar ID distinguishes the unique polarization signature of human facial features, which adds an additional security layer by detecting the presence of non-human elements like sophisticated 3D masks. This system eliminates the need for multiple complex optical modules, thus simplifying smartphone design while enhancing security. Designed to fit the most compact form factors, Polar ID uses a near-infrared polarization camera at 940nm paired with active illumination. This configuration ensures functionality across various lighting conditions, from bright outdoor environments to complete darkness, and operates effectively even when users wear sunglasses or face masks. Smartphone OEMs can integrate this secure and cost-effective solution onto a wide range of devices, surpassing traditional fingerprint sensors in reliability. Polar ID not only offers a higher resolution than existing solutions but does so at a reduced cost compared to structured light setups, democratizing access to secure biometric authentication across consumer devices. The system's efficiency and compactness are achieved through Metalenz's meta-optic innovations, offering consistent performance regardless of external impediments such as lighting changes.

PolarEyes Polarization Imaging System

The PolarEyes Polarization Imaging System expands the horizons of imaging technology by utilizing metasurface optics to capture extremely detailed polarization data from visual scenes. Metalenz's PolarEyes system is engineered to reveal layers of information that traditional cameras miss, such as the texture and material properties of an object, by harnessing the full potential of light polarization. This system is especially transformative for applications in smart devices and automation, providing critical depth and texture information for enhanced decision-making processes in systems such as robotic vision and automotive sensors. By amplifying the richness of visual data with minimal additional hardware requirements, it supports the integration of more intelligent object recognition and environmental perception across a wide range of devices. PolarEyes not only increases the sensitivity and precision of optical sensors, but it does so within the form factor constraints typical of consumer electronics. This makes it a versatile solution for industries looking to elevate the performance capabilities of existing and new technologies without incurring significant changes to device architecture or budget.
