The Design

About niroKey Gesichtserkennungsgerät

niroKey ist ein Gesichtserkennungsgerät für Zutrittskontrolle, Konferenz-Anmeldung, Mitarbeiterzeiterfassung, Besucherempfang und Bezahlvorgänge. Die abgerundete Form und die gewölbte Glasfront bilden einen durchgehenden Körper, der durch die mattweiße Oberfläche freundlich wirkt. Kameras für sichtbares Licht und Infrarot ermöglichen eine sichere Identifikation, und ein verborgenes Aufhelllicht erlaubt den Einsatz an dunklen oder im Gegenlicht liegenden Orten. Ein Gesicht wird in etwa einer halben Sekunde erkannt. Das Aluminiumgehäuse leitet die Wärme ab, und eine modulare Halterung eignet sich für die Montage auf dem Tisch, an der Wand und auf dem Boden.

Production Technology
In order to achieve rapid heat dissipation, the whole machine uses aluminum material, and the overall heat dissipation performance is excellent. The visible light and infrared cameras can realize biological recognition for high safety. The fill light on the top of the device allows the device to work normally in backlit or dark environments. The fill light is subtly hidden in the gradient printing details at the top of the screen, and the visual experience is completely integrated.
Design Challenge
In order to meet completely different use scenarios, the product has a modular design while retaining as many common parts as possible. Retractable, adjustable angle, flexible assembly and disassembly of the modular equipment bracket, can be adapted to a variety of heights of the desktop, wall-mounted installation, floor-mounted installation and other scenarios.
Research
By studying user feedback on similar products, we noticed a user perception: Almost all similar products use serious geometric shapes with tough edges to build a professional sense, however this will make users feel tension when facing them bringing a perception of products being cruel tools. By this insight, NIRO-Key has an elegant & round design language to bring more friendly & comfortable experience. After recognizing users, the device can greet in a warm manner to provide user cares.
Inspiration
With the development of face recognition technology, related products have begun to be used in access control, conference sign-in, company attendance, visitor reception, and payment scenarios. Now the products in the market are mainly targeted at one single scenario. Different scenarios require different products to be deployed, and enterprise needs complex deployments. We hope to produce a universal product that can cover all usage scenarios to enable quick enterprise deployment.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2019 in Beijing and ends in January 2020.
It was first released at Baidu Create 2019 – Baidu AI Developer Conference in July 2019.
Then in September 2019, the functional prototype was exhibited at the 2019 Baidu 2019 ABC INSPIRE Summit.
Operation Flow
The device can recognize face in 0.5 second and realizes a non-stop experience. Compared to the traditional face recognition device with a single display screen, NIRO-Key has a touch screen, which brings richer self-service functions such as visitor service and self-checkout. Users only need to upload selfies to the cloud with mobile phone to achieve registration. The device has wireless control function allowing on-site upgrade to provide an efficient operation and maintenance.
