A computing device includes an image capture device, a display, and at least one processor. The image capture device is configured to capture a digital enrollment image of a face of an authorized user and a digital authentication image of a face of an authenticating user. The display is configured to present the enrollment and authentication images. The at least one processor is configured to automatically alter the authentication image for presentation by the display and compare the authentication image to the enrollment image to unlock the computing device for use by the authenticating user.

Image processing

A system and method for determining which key value in a set of key values is to be assigned as a current key value as a result an object intersecting a region where a virtual interface is provided. The virtual interface may enable selection of individual key values in the set. The position is determined using a depth sensor that determines a depth of the position in relation to the location of the depth sensor. A set of previous key values that are pertinent to the current key value may also be identified. In addition, at least one of either a displacement characteristic of the object, or a shape characteristic of the object is determined. A probability is determined that indicates the current key value is a particular one or more of the key values in the set.
