It’s wouldn’t be a huge surprise by any stretch of the imagination, but a new patent suggests that Apple could be bringing Face ID to the Mac.
The newly released patent application , details how Face ID could work in future iMacs or MacBooks. The images within the application detail how the components would be at the top of an iMa’s display. Where a MacBook or other notebook would be concerned, some components remain at the top of the display, essential elements like the light pattern recognition module, including the dot projector, would be in the keyboard.
The patent is credit to Paul X. Wang, Keith J. Hendren, Adam T. Garelli, Antonio Clarke, Joshua L. Daigle, and Dinesh C. Mathew.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
