Vivo Unveils 3D Sensing Technology With 10 Times as Many Data Points as Apple's Face ID

Mine hardly works in the dark, in different angles, when I'm not close enough looking at the screen or in bed, so "it just doesn't work" for me.
Technology advances over the course of a year.
I'm sure FaceID will also advance like TouchID did between the first and second releases.

I’m certain that Apple, too, has developed newer, more advanced sensors for FaceID, but they will not “unveil” them until they are part of a product that is ready for sale.

Mine did. Mine “just worked” way better than Touch ID.

No, just because it didn’t work for you, doesn’t mean it failed to live up to anything.
I mean there are times I have to type in my code too, but the overwhelming majority of the time; “it just works”.
I wonder if it has to do with your phone in particular or if it has to do with “Require Attention” being on.
Actually it does - it failed to live up to "it just works" which is my point. Yes, I'm in the minority but the fact remains it doesn't just work

Its gotten better, but I think it because its because I wear glasses, and from my research, it seems other people who have had issues are wearing glasses
I would be really curious why it didn't work (the phone hardware, IOS, or how you were using it).
Have you taken it to an Apple store ?
I think another thread is a better place, I feel bad about talking about this so much, and derailing some of the conversation away from the topic.
First Gen sensor used by Apple, it is a hit or miss with many. Neither the other person or you are right or wrong.
I've seen many "better" Chinese products that packed in "more" of something and yet were complete garbage when it came to quality and software, not to mention robust support. FaceID is secure enough for me, and I certainly don't believe that more data points will outweigh the backing ecosystem needed.

That's so funny, for me it brought up memories of the Ghz processor power marketing when that was all that people talked about and no one used.

Um..... okay? You don't have to smile or make a face. Ever.

Uh, the dot projector is only if of several components that make faceID work. Just because this system uses more dots...we’ll it doesn’t mean jack **** about the overall system’s performance.
It could be better than faceID, I personally doubt it, but the cherry picked spec here doesn’t do anything other than give spec nerds something to talk about.

You mean like Apples wireless charging pad. Only "unveil" when it's ready for sale?
Did a month long test of an X (X vs. 8+ vs. Razer) and used suggestions from Apple and members here on how to improve the response of Face ID. It has some limitations.
I do hope they bring out landscape mode in future devices. Especially the IPP for ASK use.

Take a look here LINK
Face ID is good. Needs work. It is 1st gen.
[doublepost=1530130353][/doublepost]It is cool seeing the new tech come out as it applies to these types of devices.
Honestly, there has never been a technology that "just works", not from any computer company.
Quite a buried lede. So they didn’t really “unveil” it at all; they preannounced that they might one day ship something like it.
[doublepost=1530170828][/doublepost]
We’ll have to wait for
- them to actually announce a phone that will have this technology,
- that phone to ship,
- reviews to highlight how it actually performs in practice compared to iPhone X
Apple didn't claim they did facial unlock first. The MacRumors author made the connection that Vivo's claims are in response to Apple's, which is reasonable given that 1) Apple's implementation is quite widespread, widely talked about, and popular, and 2) Vivo doesn't actually have a product announcement to make yet; they just seem to want free press.

And remember, Apple invented "multitouch".
Steve Jobs told us so
He did not.

It was arguably always more aspiration than fact. You do still see this reflected — we can complain about cutting off 32-bit support or not offering FireWire any more, but among the benefits is simplicity, which makes it easier for their engineering to come closer to that goal. The more complexity you have, the less in reach "it just works" is.
I beg to differ. He claims Apple invented multi touch right here in this YouTube video
