OneVisage, a Swiss 3D software authentication startup and Orbbec, the third largest 3D camera maker in the world and largest in Asia, have entered a partnership to address the accelerating market needs of 3D facial biometry. The companies will demo their 3D authentication at the MWC in Barcelona.

During the World Mobile Congress, which kicked off today in Barcelona, OneVisage and Orbbec announced their partnership to provide premium OEM 3D facial biometry modules and solutions to the authentication market.

Orbbec is the third largest 3D camera maker in the world and the largest camera maker in Asia. Recognized for having the largest suite of 3D cameras in the market, the company has won partnerships with fortune 500 companies including Bosch, HP, Alibaba and Oppo.

As part of its partnership with OneVisage, Orbbec Astra’s depth cameras, based on structured light technology, will enable OneVisage’s 3D facial technology to authenticate users facing the camera smoothly and accurately. This is the first demonstration of 3D facial technology that efficiently combines depth and color information to perform a full 3D facial authentication, breaking grounds for 3D camera addressable use cases. Moreover, combining the two company’s technologies into an OEM 3D facial authentication kit opens new possibilities for other sectors such as e-commerce, automotive, retail, corporates or health.

“Working with OneVisage will help Orbbec as we grow in the area of facial identification, which will allow for practical uses such as detailed facial and body scanning, close range SLAM, and more.,” said Agnes Zheng, Director of Sales.

In 2017, two years following the launch of OneVisage’s 3D facial technology at MWC, mobile device manufacturers validated its adoption. “Now, it’s time for 3D camera manufacturers and 3D facial authentication providers to accelerate 3D facial biometry adoption in the market, by emphasizing faster, simpler, safer authentication journeys than current 2D facial recognition solutions. Both consumer and commercial market revenues of 3D cameras is expected to reach $ 120 Billion by 2026,” says Praveen Gajjala, Business Development Director, OneVisage.

At MWC 2019, Orbbec will show a demonstrator of Astra Mini S combined with Premier Face SDK running on Windows 10 platform, illustrating possible 3D facial authentication use cases in interactive terminals, kiosks, corporate logical access, Windows logon, car driver authentication and many more.

More than a dozen Swiss start-ups at MWC 2019
As OneVisage celebrates its partnership, over thirteen Swiss startups – among them five venture leaders mobile, six Innosuisse startups and friends of the Swiss Pavilion – are showcasing their innovation at the Mobile World Congress to increase their visibility, attract partners and expand their network.
