The companies will apply face recognition to access control on electronic devices

Cognitec Systems has signed an important software development and license agreement with Intel Corporation.

“Cognitec is proud of being selected by Intel for this important application of our technology,” said Alfredo Herrera, Managing Director of Cognitec. “Face recognition will enable the owners of millions of computers, tablets and mobile phones to protect their devices and access them conveniently and quickly without having to remember passwords.”
