Intel does not only design CPUs but also has a bunch of other projects, including YAP (You Are the Password), which wants to facilitate the identification of users by using the face of the user.


While the CPU market is not the most motivating lately, Intel still some other advantages up its sleeve.

After the RealSense 3D camera which has been already seen in some tablets, Intel wants to facilitate the identification of PC users by using a facial recognition technology called YAP (You Are the Password) and allowing your computer to recognize you and start your session.

This technology is advanced enough to learn to differentiate between twins. In case this catches on, there will be no need to remember the password, as a simple selfie will do the thing for you.
