Try Face… free trial and inexpensive, personally since I run windows 7 I cant run it, but works well! I am by no means associated with any company other than my independent promotions and tech support group listed as a website.

Simply put I love this, just downloaded and played with it, a couple of enhancements i would suggest is multiple profiles for the face, right now I will have to sit at the same distance from the camera that I registered the image an use the same angle, nevertheless I see this as a giant step forward..

Did you test how well it handles different lighting conditions/backgrounds?

I haven’t tried it myself (and certainly don’t have relationship with that company); just remembered reading about it in Monday’s SF Chronicle:

I’m pretty sure my UMPC is safe. Locked or unlocked, it’s never out of my sight or more than an arm’s length away. :)

Seriously, what took developers long enough to create an application like this? The last time there was a facial recognition security software, it was years ago, yet there have been APIs and SDKs out for them.

And, why can’t anyone create one on the Mac? They’re nearly all equipped with iSight cameras.
