FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Vista Imaging Partners with Visionics Vista’s ViCAM Digital Video Camera to Ship with Trial-version of Visionic’s Award-winning FaceItÒ PC Face Recognition Software BELMONT, CA—(October 13, 1997)—Vista Imaging, Inc., a leading developer of digital cameras and software products, announced today that it is now delivering its ViCAM desktop digital video camera with a trial version of Visionics’ FaceIt PC, an award-winning suite of face recognition software applications. "We are very excited about working with Visionics, because its face recognition software is widely recognized as the best in the biometrics industry," said Chris Dopp, President of Vista Imaging, Inc. "The ability of our ViCAM camera to support the demanding requirements of this advanced face recognition technology is a strong credibility statement about its potential for use in supporting other serious business applications beyond just desktop videoconferencing." "We’ve evaluated a wide variety of desktop digital cameras, and Vista Imaging’s ViCAM is truly our camera of choice," said Dr. Joseph Atick, CEO of Visionics. "It’s a plug-and-go device that features exceptional performance at a very competitive price, and it’s also incredibly easy to use." Vista Imaging’s ViCAM is a parallel-port based, high-resolution desktop digital video camera that generates fast, 30 frame per second video in full color to support of motion video applications, and also features high quality, 24-bit true color still image capture in resolutions ranging from 160 x 120 to 1280 x 960. Additionally, ViCAM is delivered with standard TWAIN and AVI drivers, making it compatible with countless off-the-shelf programs available for image capturing/editing, video conferencing/e-mail, and remote site monitoring. ViCAM also features the singular ability to capture images in extremely low light environments, and includes an IEEE-1284 compatible parallel pass-through device to allow printing from the same parallel port without the need to disconnect the camera to access the printer. Visionics’ FaceIt software brings to the PC an innovative use of face recognition technology to achieve access control, file encryption, surveillance, and secure visual messaging, with remote communications capabilities through the Internet. With FaceIt, a person's face is his password, enabling the user to open and encrypt files. Working in conjunction with a videoconferencing camera, FaceIt has algorithms that can analyze an individual's unique facial features, and accurately match them with the stored database of faces that are authorized to use a particular PC. It completely eliminates the security risks associated with the loss or theft of written passwords, and provides an invisible but impenetrable wall protecting confidential business and personal data. The suggested retail price for ViCAM is $199.95, and it includes bundled copies of MGI VideoWave SE+ and MGI PhotoSuite SE from MGI Software Corp., and the trial version of FaceIt. For a limited time only, users can also purchase both the ViCAM camera and a fully functional copy of FaceIt from MicroWarehouse for a special bundled price of just $299.95.
