Microsoft To Release Two Face-Recognition Webcams In 2019

As reported by blogger Paul Thurrott, Microsoft is planning to roll out two Ultra-HD webcams in 2019. The technology giant company is, more specifically, working on launching two face-recognition webcams in 2019, one dedicated to Windows 10 computers, while the other would be compatible with Xbox One.

Microsoft to offer Windows 10 users access to biometric functions via a face-recognition webcam in 2019

Microsoft is planning to roll out a face-recognition webcam in 2019 to provide Windows 10 users access to biometric functions. Biometric authentication would be, therefore, available for all Windows 10 computers thanks to the new Ultra-HD camera the giant tech company is thinking to release in 2019.

Face recognition, fingerprint authentication, and other biometric features would be available via the Windows Hello platform. Noteworthy, these functions are already accessible via Microsoft Surface computers. Thus, Microsoft’s final goal would be to make biometric authentication available, at least limited to facial recognition, for the time being, to all Windows 10 users.

Microsoft would also roll out a second face-recognition webcam, but for the Xbox One

Similarly to the camera model the company plans to launch for Windows 10 computers, to expand biometric authentication via face-recognition features, Microsoft will release another Ultra-HD camera for Xbox One.

This face-recognition camera for Xbox One would work similarly to that one for Windows 10. It would also come out in 2019, most likely at the same time with that model for Windows 10 computer, that we’ve debated in the section above. This Xbox One face-recognition camera would allow gamers to log in faster, while will also enable multiple users to sign in, so it would expedite the start of gaming sessions.

According to the information presented by industry blogger Paul Thurrott, both these face-recognition webcams Microsoft plans to roll out in 2019 would be compatible with USB-C and would have the final goal to ease up the users’ authentication process on Windows 10 and Xbox One consoles.

Lucky Patcher 8.0 APK: How to Download It for Android and Windows

In case you did not hear of Lucky Patcher, it is an Android or PC app that’s meant to patch applications, create modified APKs (without root access) or create custom patches. It works by using a list of applications that are installed on your device, and it shows the actions they can carry out.

One of the best features of Lucky Patcher is that it can work even on those non-rooted devices, that offer the basic functionality. However, the thing with this is that you gain the full features as soon as the user has root access. It offers a lot of more activities, and we’re going to talk some more about them.

This app allows the users to remove the license verification that’s included on most on most of the apps that are downloaded from Google Play – it helps them work properly. It also helps you in modifying the permissions that are associated with them. It extracts the APK file in order to do backups and defragmentation. It unlocks paid apps and it removes all the Google Ads.

This app is so popular due to the fact that it’s able to hack the Android games, in order to get free in-app purchases and even gain special loot items, which might otherwise cost the user a lot.

How to use it?

For Android devices, you should first download the Lucky Patcher APK v8.0.0. After getting it, install the app and don’t forget to grant it root access.

For Windows 7, 8 and 10

Download the Lucky Patcher just as you would for Android devices, then after the APK is downloaded, download the rooted Bluestacks and install it on your PC or laptop. Then, you need to double-click on the Lucky Patcher APK file you got before. This will make the Bluestacks window appear, and then the app will get installed.
