Technology is a beautiful thing but new technologies like facial detection, is far from perfect. Windows 10, however, wants to prove that its face detection software is the closest thing to perfection.

When Windows 10 rolled out last month, it introduced Windows Hello, its biometric recognition security system. It includes face detection software that promises an easy and secure sign-in. Given that face detection is not an age-old tested technology, it is then understandable for people to be a bit wary about relying solely on this security measure.

But The Australian's informal test might put some people's fears at ease. Their experiment proved that Windows' new security feature might be good enough to buffer even a user's doppelganger.

In the test conducted by the online publication, six sets of identical twins from Melbourne and Sydney tried to fool Windows Hello. Not once did Windows' face detection fail in barring a twin's access, even when the twin tried to copy the other twin's hair style or used and removed glasses.

Annabelle and Miriam Jeffrey were one of those set of twins who went through the test and were impressed by the software. Miriam said, "It could distinguish between us two quite easily. It's a little surprising. I thought it would have failed, but no, it was really good. It was really quick."

It was indeed a good experiment. It is perfect for those who still have qualms over using this new technology which has been incorporated in the latest version of the Microsoft operating system. But take note, however, that the experiment was conducted with only a handful of individuals. It will be best to still approach Windows Hello with a little caution and add more security measures to protect users' respective PCs.

Windows Hello is in collaboration with Intel, making use of the latter's RealSense camera in the process. RealSense utilizes a three-way lens — infrared, regular, and 3D — to analyze who is in front of the computer.
