'There are many opportunities for Osram Opto’s portfolio, especially in the automotive market which has been a top interest in its business strategy. While 2D is already a very secure solution, Kuertzel explains, implementing 3D facial recognition will add an extra layer of security, as will other features such as AR-related filters.
“We are very strong on the automotive side and we see a lot of new developments in this market,” Kuertzel said. “At Osram Opto we develop, in very similar fashion, products that could be deployed for in-cabin sensing. Biometric identification, whether it’s face or iris detection, could also be applied to detect driver drowsiness and it would work in the same way – with an infrared LED that provides the machine with the vision system.”
Kuertzel assures consumers that nobody would actually be looking at them, it would only be a machine learning algorithm that analyzes the face to detect if the driver is paying attention to the road, or looking at the phone. The driver monitoring system has already been rolled out in trucks, and future plans include integrating the technology with regular cars.
“In a future scenario, the car could just take over and drive, or, a more realistic scenario, is that the car would trigger a warning for the driver to pay attention,” he added.'
