Innovatrics has announced the release of Multi-Range Liveness, a new active liveness capability designed for regulated onboarding and high-risk digital identity journeys. The company positions the feature as a way to strengthen identity assurance without requiring organizations to redesign their existing KYC or eID onboarding flows.
According to Innovatrics, Multi-Range Liveness prompts users to capture a short sequence of selfies at varying distances from the device camera. During the process, the system introduces random challenges and evaluates multiple frames across the capture session. The goal is to verify the presence of a real person by assessing facial behavior and consistency as the subject moves closer to and farther from the camera.
The company explicitly links the approach to improved resistance against replay attacks, video injection, and deepfake-based fraud. By analyzing facial data across multiple distances and frames, Innovatrics says the system can detect anomalies that may indicate synthetic or injected video rather than a genuine live capture. The release frames this as a response to evolving attack techniques that target not only presentation but also the integrity of the capture pipeline.
Innovatrics states that the capability is intended for use cases where regulators and risk teams expect stronger proof of user presence. These include remote onboarding for financial services, account opening, loan origination, SIM registration, age verification, and secure access to e-government portals. The company emphasizes that the feature is designed to integrate into existing onboarding journeys, allowing organizations to raise assurance levels without introducing excessive user friction.
The announcement reflects a broader industry focus on hardening liveness detection as deepfake tools become more accessible and sophisticated. Innovatrics positions Multi-Range Liveness as part of a layered defense strategy, where presence verification is evaluated dynamically rather than through a single static capture.
The release highlights an evaluative question that is becoming increasingly central to biometric procurement. Beyond accuracy metrics, buyers are being asked to assess how liveness systems respond to injection-style attacks and whether presence checks remain robust when adversaries attempt to bypass the camera sensor entirely.
