By Staff Writer

The latest feature for the Windows 10 users can enable them to sign in to the system with the help of face recognition. The Microsoft Windows Hello comes with the recent devices that are designed specially, with depth sensing cameras.

It becomes really difficult to remember the password every time you log into the system. The technologies are being enhanced each passing day to make the life of people more comfortable and easy going. The eye tracking software Tobii completely supports Windows Hello which has made things simpler and one just needs face authentication.

According to The Verge report, "Microsoft's interest to make Windows Hello work with Tobii eye-tracking devices is a testament to the value, both now and in the future, of our joint ability to enhance the Windows experience for consumers."

The availability of the Window's Hello will be expanded with the eye-tracking software from Tobii. It will support the software on its separate cameras that includes the EyeX controller at €119 ($129) and the Steel Series Sentry Gaming Eye Tracker is priced at €249.99 ($271).The merger of the eye tracking global leader, Tobii and the Microsoft Corp. will allow the customers with fast, simple, and more secure logins.

As per the Business Wire report, the Windows Hello biometric functionality relies on images provided by Tobii's sensor to work with Microsoft face recognition algorithms. Built into Windows 10, these algorithms determine the identity of the user, making it possible to securely login to Windows devices. Tobii's technology makes it possible for Windows Hello to work in a variety of lighting conditions and even in the dark.

This amazing Tobii software supports Windows Hello not just for its peripherals but also the enterprise products it has. The Windows Hello will be supported by both Tobii Eye Chip and IS4 software.

The new software also enables the eyeX camera to control other Windows 10 functions, including the application switcher, Action Center notifications, and even Snap Assist. Other improvements: You can look at a text box on a webpage (Google Chrome natively supports the eyeX eye tracker) and swipe down on your touchpad, and only the box that you're looking at will shift, reports the PC World news.

The people who are interested in exploring the simple next gen, password-free logins, Windows Hello supported by Tobii can be introduced to the existing Windows 10 compatible PCs  with the addition of the Tobii EyeX Controller.
