🎉 Polar ID by Metalenz wins AI Breakthrough Award for Best Overall Biometrics Solution! 🏆 

In a rapidly evolving landscape where AI and machine learning drive innovation, Polar ID represents a paradigm shift in how machine vision systems perceive and respond to visual inputs.

Metalenz is the first company in the world to design and build AI machine vision algos together with metasurface optics to enable the unique capability of metasurfaces to capture polarized light information to reveal new insights and details. Now, our solution, Polar ID, is poised to bring more convenient and secure facial authentication to the 100s of millions of people that are currently using biometrics on Android devices.

Half of the global population relies on smartphones for various services, and the demand for both robust security measures and convenient access is paramount. While fingerprint scans and facial recognition have been integrated into smartphones, their susceptibility to hacking remains a significant concern, and many methods have performance and usability shortcomings. Metalenz recognized this gap and developed Polar ID, a groundbreaking solution that combines the unique light sorting ability of metasurface optics with cutting-edge machine vision AI to offer a smarter, simpler, and more compact optical sensing module for face unlock.
