Howdy – Windows Hello style facial authentication for Linux

I know there was extensive testing when face recognition authentication came to smartphones. I wonder how an open source project like this one compares. I suspect there are substantially more false positives/negatives than on a commercially developed version that needs to support everyone to be successful.

Apple's Face ID uses what is essentially a 3D camera, a simple 2D color camera cannot compare to that in terms of accuracy.

Windows also uses infrared LEDs to light your face and prevent a flat photo from being recognised as a face.

Windows is an operating system and does not have dependence on specific hardware being present.
