NEC’s New LAVIE PCs Feature CyberLink Facial Recognition Tech

CyberLink will be powering the facial recognition capabilities in NEC’s new home computers. To that end, the new LAVIE Home All-in-one PCs will come equipped with CyberLink’s FaceMe facial recognition engine, which has been integrated into the LAVIE AI Assistant software.

Thanks to FaceMe, LAVIE owners can use the assistant to register the face of everyone in the household, and then set up personal preferences for each user. Those users can then log in with facial biometrics rather than a password, and LAVIE will launch a personalized interface when it recognizes the face of the person sitting at the computer. Users can also set up shortcuts to their most commonly used applications.

“Facial recognition holds limitless potential to enhance the overall user experience on consumer devices,” said CyberLink CEO Jau Huang. “By integrating FaceMe, users owning NEC’s LAVIE Home All-in-one PCs can now access an enhanced, convenient and secure experience unlocked through our facial recognition expertise.”

CyberLink is currently celebrating its strong performance in the latest round of the NIST’s Face Recognition Vendor Test. The company boasted that FaceMe is one of the best facial recognition solutions developed outside of China and Russia, which should make FaceMe more appealing to manufacturers that are looking to gain traction in the U.S. market.

The LAVIE Home All-in-one PC is built with a 10th generation Intel processor, and is now available for purchase in Japan. CyberLink has also formed partnerships with Altek and IEI Integration to provide facial recognition technology for IoT and AIoT applications.
