Microsoft Phones To Use Iris Scanners To Unlock With Your Face

Microsoft new phone, Lumia 950XL, will have facial recognition

Microsoft’s new phones will come with an iris scanner that will allow users to unlock their device with their face. The company is expected to announce the features tomorrow at an event where they will introduce two new Lumia devices. They will be Microsoft’s first flagship phones since it acquired Nokia last year. The two new phones will be called the 950 and 950XL and are expected to have big screens and fast processors.

One of the big new features with the Lumia 950 phones will be iris scanners that will allow users to unlock their phone without any passwords or typing – they simply look at their device’s camera. The scanners will use software called Windows Hello, which was introduced with Windows 10. The software on Windows 10 uses a new Intel camera, called RealSense, that works with Windows Hello on PCs. Microsoft seems to have achieved something similar for their new phones.

The new camera can be seen in the leaked photo of the Lumia 950XL above, courtesy of Twitter user @Windows10Lover. A high-resolution camera is required in order to recognise faces – RealSense uses a 3D lens, an infrared lens, and a regular lens, so presumably this new version will use something similar.

Microsoft is going all out with their 950 phones. Both the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL will be premium phones with high-end specifications and probably high-end price tags. Although the phones have yet to be officially announced, we already know the phones will boast 20 megapixel rear-facing cameras, Quad HD displays, and 32 GB of storage with memory card expansion slots. The inclusion of facial scanners is another piece of Microsoft’s plan for a phone that will compete with Apple, Samsung, and Google, all of which are focusing on shipping phones with fingerprint sensors instead.

Microsoft’s event starts at 10am EDT on Tuesday. Along with the 950 phones, the company is also expected to reveal an entry-level Lumia device and the new Surface Pro 4.

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered.  It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.

We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.

Your thoughts on Pizza Possum?  Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?

In June, Park Beyond for PS5 will allow you to create impossible theme parks

A brand-new trailer for the upcoming amusement park management game Park Beyond from Bandai Namco has been made available. While it appears to be generally comparable to other games in the genre, the hook here is “impossifying” rides to up their difficulty. The video gives a brief description of what you’ll be doing.

There will be two primary game modes. In the first, you can play a story mode in which you aid a failing theme park firm in achieving success by adding imaginative attractions, and in the second, you can play a sandbox mode in which you can create any kind of wacky park you choose. Adding absurd components to your rides—like launchers that transport a train of rollercoaster carts from one rail to another or ferris wheels that resemble the interior of a clock—is essentially the same as making them appear more impossible. There is a lot of creative work on display.

The PS5 release date for Park Beyond, which is now available for pre-order, is June 16, 2023. If you pre-order, you’ll receive a Pac-Man-themed Expansion pack that includes amusement rides, retail establishments, performers, and a slew of other decorations. Last but not least, if you pre-order one of the game’s deluxe editions, you’ll also receive the Zombeyond pack, which includes a variety of zombie-themed goods.
