Paravision and HID Global co-developing new line of face biometric solutions

A new partnership has been formed between Paravision and HID Global to combine the former's facial recognition and biometric liveness detection with the latter's hardware, integration, software and services. The partners plan to build enterprise-grade solutions under the HID brand for biometric access control to a range of applications across the retail, banking, air travel and healthcare sectors. The integrated solutions will offer high security with GDPR-compliant privacy protection, according to a promotional video posted to LinkedIn. Paravision President and COO Benji Hutchinson told Biometric Update in an email that the company sees the partnership with HID as a major step towards expanding its global footprint in both the public and commercial sectors. "There will be strong commercial growth as face recognition, identity, and computer vision software proliferates a number of non-traditional (outside of government sector) platforms," Hutchinson predicts.
