Apple is expected to use a system of three-dimensional facial recognition in iPhone 8 and this is making to strengthen the security of the phone.
Technology analyst Rod Hall said the American giant will use the new 3D system, which is expected to replace the scanner for fingerprint recognition, whereas previously it was reported that the device may have an iris scanner.
The new 3D scanner will add another 10 or $ 15 bill for the creation of iPhone 8. The module is expected to be used VR technology already used enough.
This would pave the way Apple to improve in terms of games. For this option Apple may have an extra accessories AR / VR.
Apple's new phones are expected to launch in September.
Basics of the technology
A 3D sensor needs a few key features —it needs a light emitter in the form of a LED or laser diode, a light filter for a noise-free scan, and a speedy image sensor coupled with a powerful signal processor. Each aspect has some implementation difficulties, which Hall believes have been rectified by Apple and partner Primesense in a relatively inexpensive package that should add not much more than 3 percent to the build cost of an iPhone.
At first glance, the technology described resembles a miniaturized version of a LIDAR mapper or rangefinder.
At present, at macro scale, LIDAR is used in many physical sciences, and heavily used by the military in ordnance guidance suites. Resolution and accuracy greatly depends on a combination of factors, not the least of which is the integration of the laser and the sensor —which Apple's acquisition of Primesense appears intended for.
Miniaturized hardware
Any 3D laser scanning apparatus in a smartphone would likely be introduced in a wafer-level "stacked" optical column, rather than a conventional barrel lens.
While more complex, the stack occupies less volume in the phone, and is arguably more resistant to damage. However, optical diffraction can be a problem, as can lower yield rates in production, potentially driving the cost up, or being a supply-limiting factor in getting devices equipped with the stack to retail.
The technology has more use than facial recognition. A potential API release, which is probably not likely early in the hardware's life, could open up other uses like ultimate use in augmented reality and virtual reality headsets, clothing sizing, accurate distance measurements for home improvement, scanning for 3D printing, appliance and HomeKit integration, and other applications needing precise volumetric scans, or range-finding needs.
Outside Cupertino
Given's Apple's ownership of Primesense intellectual property, the company stands to gain from other industries implementation of the technology as well.
"Creating small, inexpensive, 3D scanning modules has interesting application far beyond smartphones. Eventually we believe these sensors are likely to appear on auto-driving platforms as well as in many other use cases," writes Hall. "Maybe a fridge that can tell what types of food you have stored in it isn't as far off as you thought."
While the "iPhone 8" is expected to be laden with all of Apple's newest technologies —including an OLED wrap-around display, fingerprint sensor embedded in the screen glass, and others —the 3D sensing technology may not be limited to just the high end. Hall believes that there is "more unit volume" for production of the sensor sandwich, opening up the possibilities that it will appear on the "iPhone 7s" series, in addition to the expected $1,000+ high-end "iPhone 8."
Apple purchased Israeli-based PrimeSense in lat 2013, for around $360 million. PrimeSense created sensors, specialized silicon and middle-ware for motion sensing and 3D scanning applications, and was heavily involved in the development of Microsoft's Kinect sensor technology before the deal.

This is Costa's future, according to Conte
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says the new contract by Diego Costa is not his priority, përdreisa FOR TWO club struggling preferred.
"I do not know about his situation sepes is important to focus on the present and not look so forward."
"I think right now the players and people must work for Chelsea and for me it is important to be focused on the present. At the end of the season we will see the situation, "said Conte.
He added that he is convinced that Costa will continue the contract with Chelsea, but that the most important is that it be focused on the present.
Asked if he was confident of keeping Costa at Stamford Bridge, the Italian added: "Yes, I'm confident, but I repeat now it's important to keep the great concentration for the present.
"Tomorrow's game against Wolverhampton is the present. We must go into the next round and then, I repeat, this situation will be better to face at the end of the season."
Chelsea face Wolves at Molineux in the fifth round of the FA Cup, with attention briefly switching to the knockout competition before it returns to the consolidation of an eight-point advantage in the Premier League.
But despite the huge money on offer elsewhere, Conte is in no hurry to secure his striker on an improved contract.
"I don't know about this situation because I think now it's very important to be focused on the present and not to look so far forward," Conte said.
"I think now for the players, for the people who work for Chelsea, and for me it's important to be focused on the present. At the end of the season we'll see the situation."
Costa has struck 15 Premier League goals to help Chelsea to the top of the table and Conte is confident the player will stay.
"Yes, I'm confident [he will stay]," Conte said ahead of the FA Cup fifth round game against Wolves. "It's important for the group concentration for tomorrow's game versus Wolverhampton.
"We must go to the next round and then I repeat, this situation will be better to face at the end of the season."
Conte will have John Terry available for the game against Wolves with the Chelsea captain overcoming an ankle knock.
The former Juventus boss also insists David Luiz's knee injury has responded well, but that the Brazil international and Marcos Alonso could be rested.
"John Terry is fit. He's OK. All the players are available," Conte said. "There is a situation that is better to keep under control for Marcos Alonso -- a bit of rest.
"Also for David Luiz and a big opportunity to give him a week to recover very well and prepare for the next game. All the players are in a good form."

Guardiola is returning to Barcelona?
Pep Guardiola has rejected a return to its potential to Barcelona.
Deep after losing 4-0 to Barcelona against PSG in the Champions League, they created many rumors about the departure of Luis Enrique.
Enriques successor to the post of coach mentioned the return of Guardiola, who won everything with the Catalan club, but his coach has denied such a thing.
"I will not go back to Barcelona for the trainer. My period has ended there, "said Guardiola to British media.
"Barcelona are still the best team in the world"
"They have done it over the years, dominating football for 10 years, and they continue to be the best team in the world," concluded the Spanish coach.
"There's a lot of competition, the opposition are so strong," said Guardiola. "You can win heavily or you can lose heavily, that can happen, it's happened to me, but there are 90 minutes to go and anything can happen. If there's a team who can do it, then it's Barca, with their mentality.
"I will never go back to Barcelona to be coach there. My period there is gone.
"Barcelona are still the best team in the world. It's always a surprise because they are so, so good, but in football anything can happen.
The 46-year-old would prefer the cup competition to follow the Copa del Rey in Spain, where all ties bar the final are played over two legs, or Germany's cup tournament, where drawn matches are decided with extra-time and penalties, without the need for a replay.
"In Spain, we play two games. I prefer that situation," he said. "Maybe for the amount of games played, extra-time and penalties would be good.
While the more immediate focus will naturally be ending the season in positive fashion, it won’t be long before it switches back to where Barca go next.
As noted by The Sun, the rumour regarding Guardiola’s possible return stemmed from the fact that Lionel Messi reportedly wants him back in Spain, with calls allegedly being made to try and convince him to return to the Nou Camp.
However, with his project at City only just starting, the Spanish tactician has other things to be concerned about and has now ruled out the chance of ever having a second spell with the Catalan giants.

Galaxy S8 revealed on February 27
Samsung will announce the official launch date of Galaxy S8 on February 27.
Director of mobile communications at Samsung has announced the official launch of the phone will be launched officially at the Mobile World Congress.
The company has booked a media event during MWC, but the Galaxy S8 there will not be revealed, although according to some reports say that in this case the company will present a one-minute promotional video of the device.
From what we've heard so far, Galaxy S8 will be made official at an event to be held in New York on March 29, and will go on sale on April 21.
Samsung typically announces new phones at the end of February, but its mobile president confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S8 won't be announced at MWC 2017 – well, not announced in full at least.
Instead, we'll see the new Android Nougat phone teased in a one-minute video at the event on February 26, according to a new report out of Korea. Most of the company's MWC press conference will focus on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.
Expect 60 seconds a slowly rotating smartphone draped in dark shadows and have it all accompanied by booming music. Maybe even a tagline like 'The next big thing just got even bigger,' alluding to a larger display size.
The official launch date may happen a little more than one month later, with the newest believable leaks saying it'll be a March 29 launch event in New York that outs the new Samsung phone. The actual Galaxy S8 release date in stores is expected to be April 21.
Samsung's biggest phones typically go through a one month lag time between their announcement and actual shipment dates, so that part at least checks out.
Of course, we've also heard about other possible release dates, including April 18. Either way, Samsung isn't launching its phone as soon as it usually does.
Samsung Galaxy S8 may give everyone what they want: a bigger screen without making the phone dimensions any larger. Is it finally happening?
It's going to come in two sizes, one with a 5.8-inch display and another with a 6.2-inch screen, both with curves and a Quad HD resolution, according to a leak obtained by VentureBeat.
That would make the Galaxy S8 display – in either size – larger than the 5.7-inch Note 7. Don't worry, it's not actually going to be any more massive.
The phone is said to max out the screen real estate by ditching the home button at the bottom and that always-gaudy Samsung logo at the top.
Following the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, one of the obvious challenges that Samsung faced was to regain consumer confidence in its handsets. When airline passengers are warned not to travel with a Samsung Galaxy, when news reports around the world talk of exploding phones, and when your favorite brand is a late-night punchline, the next Samsung may not be going to the top of your "must have" list.
Display:
Samsung s8 comes with a screen of 5.2 inches and improved advanced screen resolution technology for 4k display with an amazing user interface. The device comes with a keen resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels which gives the best video quality with an HD display. Samsung s8 has a blended screen which gives the device an amazing touch. The device is protected is corning gorilla glass 5, so the device is water resistant and scratch resistant.
Camera:
The interesting features are that the device has the best image capturing camera. It has a 30MP camera the rear end and a 12Mp camera at the front view with a dual LED flash, probably the best camera quality with most advanced and amazing features such as geotagging, face recognition, smile detection, and other additional features. The image also gives a high resolution capturing.The interesting feature is that it has got a dual camera, which is the advanced version when compared to Samsung s7. The camera has improved a lot, so this is one of the reasons which makes the device much smarter.
Storage:
The Samsung s8 will be having an internal storage capacity of 64/128 GB and the memory can also be extended by a dual external memory card slot provided to the device, it can be extended up to 256GB so this gives a huge mass storage device for the user. The interesting features are that the smartphone has an internal storage read and write speed up to 500mpbs so the transferring of data from the external devices through the device makes much faster.
Processor:
The Samsung s8 has snapdragon Qualcomm octa-core processor with a speed of 4.2 GHz so this smartphone is going to give the user the best performance even at the peak levels. The device performance is going to be massive, this is the reason the Samsung s8 has been the much awaiting smartphone. The device is has a ram of 6GB so this makes the device performance much quick and faster. The device handling is quite smooth and even has a high-end graphic gaming feature. The device is quite simple with the latest and advanced operating software.
Security:
The Samsung s8 also has the key feature of the fingerprint sensor, so the device is highly safe and protected. This also has a 3D force touch similar to that of iPhone. The device touch response is quite realistic and responsive, which is much comforting to the user.
Battery:
Here is the main advantage of the Samsung Galaxy S8, the smartphone has a non-removable battery of 6200mAh. This make gives the smartphone the last longing performance and the device has a swift wireless charger 4.0 through which it can be charged up to 80% with 30 minutes. So the device can be charged in a very short time.

Suarez misses the final
Two yellow cardboard against Atletico Madrid and the red at the end of the match, Luis Suarez have missed the final of the Copa del Rey.
Catalan club, Barcelona have made a complaint to the Football Federation of Spain but that was rejected.
The Spanish Federation has seen the footage again and decided that the punishment of Suarez remain in force.
Suarez is not sentenced to a game within the game in the Spanish Cup.
So star Uruguayan will miss Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final against Deportivo Alaves.
But 30-year-old received a fine of 600 euros from the Federation.
Atletico surrendered their numerical advantage 21 minutes from time, Carrasco clattering into Arda Turan to get his second yellow, and yet their best chance to score was still to come.
Gerard Pique was adjudged to have brought down Gameiro in the box, but after he picked himself up to take the spot-kick, the Frenchman fired it against the top of the crossbar.
Deflated by that blow, Atletico's threat faded before Suarez's late indiscretion – leading to his first Barca dismissal – briefly revitalised them, but Luis Enrique's men dug deep to make it through.
Despite being up against it for much of the opening half, Barca came close to breaking the deadlock early on when Suarez's low strike forced a near-post save from Moya.
Atletico responded with a swift counter-attack and Carrasco should have done better after creating space to shoot deep inside the box, but his effort was too close to Jasper Cillessen.
There was another warning shot from the visitors in the 11th minute, Cillessen having to quickly change direction to keep out Griezmann's header before gathering the loose ball.
A powerful Diego Godin header and some urgent defending from Jordi Alba to thwart Griezmann underlined the growing threat of Simeone's side.
But they failed to make their superiority count and Barca pounced against the run of play on the stroke of half-time, Suarez prodding home from Messi's saved effort.
Atletico were handed added impetus when Roberto was given his marching orders having gone in studs-up on Filipe Luis, but a poor decision from the assistant referee to flag Griezmann offside as he picked out the bottom corner denied them a leveller.
Their momentum appeared to be stifled when Carrasco mindlessly fouled Arda to call his evening to an end, and Messi almost put the tie to bed with a stunning free-kick that cracked the underside of the crossbar from 30 yards.
But Pique's foul on Gameiro handed Atletico a penalty from which the 29-year-old missed, only to make amends with a tap-in from compatriot Griezmann's assist three minutes later.
Suarez was flagged offside late on as he sought to seal Barca's progression, but he soon ended his own involvement in this year's competition with a foul that led to the game's third red card.
Suarez didn’t see any harm in the contact and thought Koke overplayed the incident.
“I’m laughing at that second yellow card, it’s not even a foul,” Suarez told Gol TV via the BBC. “I did absolutely nothing. It was what he [Koke] wanted.”
Unfortunately for Suarez and Barcelona, the federation’s opinion is the one that counts. With a two-match ban, Suarez misses the May 27 final and will also be out for Barcelona’s first domestic cup tie next season. Of course, Barcelona have an embarrassment of riches in their attack and will probably be able to ease past Alaves, who sit 12th in the La Liga table at the moment.
With Suarez sidelined, Barcelona will have to lean on the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar to pick up the slack, along with Arda Turan and Denis Suarez.
Still, Suarez would certainly much rather prefer to be out there if Barcelona lift the trophy for the third straight year.
Simeone's side pushed to force it to extra time, but came up short and Barca will meet either Alaves or Celta Vigo in the final, with the sides playing on Wednesday in a tie that is goalless after the first leg.

'Dybala the new Messi'
Maurizio Zamparini, Palermo president believes Juventus star, Paulo Dybala is like the legend of Lionel Messi
"Whoever criticizes Messi is crazy. We are talking about the new Messi (Dybalan). He will become a player like Messi and he is already at that level, "he said Zamparini told Tuttosport.
Zamparini had sold Dybalan to Juventus in the summer of 2015, for 40 million euro. But now he believes that the price has quadrupled Argentine.
"I would say he is worth 140 or 150 million euros. As I said, it is Messi young. I have said that he is destined to become a star when he arrived in Palermo in 2012," he said.
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini trusts Paulo Dybala “is now worth €150m. He’s the new Leo Messi” for Juventus.
La Joya was sold to the Turin giants in the summer of 2015 for €32m, but his price-tag has sky-rocketed.
“I watch the games and Dybala looks like the best player out there. Anyone who criticises him is mad, because Dybala is the new Leo Messi. He will become a player like that and is already reaching that level,” Zamparini told Tuttosport.
“Did you see the game against Cagliari? Who else can send Gonzalo Higuain clear on goal in the best situation to score?”
There have already been reports of an exit with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain interested.
“Beppe Marotta is a friend and I’d like Dybala to stay at Juventus. In my view the club can afford a player like this, even though there will certainly be offers.
“After all, world class players are wanted everywhere. As far as I can tell, Dybala is worth €150m. I’ve been telling him since he first arrived that he was destined for greatness.
“And to think some of my Coaches left him on the bench at Palermo. Don’t remind me…”
Zamparini is also impressed by Dybala’s Juventus and Argentina teammate Gonzalo Higuain.
“He is an extraordinary and unique striker. He was born to score goals. With his characteristics, he is the best centre-forward in the world, but then you have different types of central striker.
“He really reminds me of Gunnar Nordahl, a forward with great technique and physical strength. Higuain is Higuain – if you give him the right service, he’ll put it in the back of the net.
“I believe Juventus can win the Champions League. It requires a certain maturity and Napoli proved against Real Madrid that they don’t have that yet.”
"I hope he will stay at Juventus. I think they can hold on to him. But of course there will be approaches. World-class players are always coveted by everyone. But I hope he will stay at Juventus for a long time."
Dybala has netted eight times in 24 appearances in all competitions this season.
"Whoever criticizes Messi is crazy. We are talking about the new Messi (Dybalan). He will become a player like Messi and he is already at that level, "he said Zamparini told Tuttosport.
Zamparini had sold Dybalan to Juventus in the summer of 2015, for 40 million euro. But now he believes that the price has quadrupled Argentine.
"I would say he is worth 140 or 150 million euros. As I said, it is Messi young. I have said that he is destined to become a star when he arrived in Palermo in 2012," he said.
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini trusts Paulo Dybala “is now worth €150m. He’s the new Leo Messi” for Juventus.
La Joya was sold to the Turin giants in the summer of 2015 for €32m, but his price-tag has sky-rocketed.
“I watch the games and Dybala looks like the best player out there. Anyone who criticises him is mad, because Dybala is the new Leo Messi. He will become a player like that and is already reaching that level,” Zamparini told Tuttosport.
“Did you see the game against Cagliari? Who else can send Gonzalo Higuain clear on goal in the best situation to score?”
There have already been reports of an exit with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain interested.
“Beppe Marotta is a friend and I’d like Dybala to stay at Juventus. In my view the club can afford a player like this, even though there will certainly be offers.
“After all, world class players are wanted everywhere. As far as I can tell, Dybala is worth €150m. I’ve been telling him since he first arrived that he was destined for greatness.
“And to think some of my Coaches left him on the bench at Palermo. Don’t remind me…”
Zamparini is also impressed by Dybala’s Juventus and Argentina teammate Gonzalo Higuain.
“He is an extraordinary and unique striker. He was born to score goals. With his characteristics, he is the best centre-forward in the world, but then you have different types of central striker.
“He really reminds me of Gunnar Nordahl, a forward with great technique and physical strength. Higuain is Higuain – if you give him the right service, he’ll put it in the back of the net.
“I believe Juventus can win the Champions League. It requires a certain maturity and Napoli proved against Real Madrid that they don’t have that yet.”
"I hope he will stay at Juventus. I think they can hold on to him. But of course there will be approaches. World-class players are always coveted by everyone. But I hope he will stay at Juventus for a long time."
Dybala has netted eight times in 24 appearances in all competitions this season.
