(including Microsoft’s own Surface machines), and you can buy this camera

as a USB peripheral.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll know it, because in → →
Accounts → “Sign-in options,” you’ll see a heading for Windows Hello

Face. Hit Add to get started, and then “Get started” to really get started.

Enter your PIN. (Yes, Windows Hello requires you to set up both a
password and a PIN, so you’ll be able to get into your machine if something

goes wrong with either your RealSense camera or your face.)

Now you’re asked to look into the camera. After just a couple of seconds,
an “All set!” message appears; Windows has learned what you look like.

Tip

If you wear glasses, hit “Improve recognition” and look into the camera again, this time without
them (or with them, if you didn’t wear them the first time). Now Windows Hello will recognize
you either way.

At this point, note the “Automatically unlock the screen if Windows
recognizes your face” option. It saves you one additional click—the one
required to dismiss the Lock screen—before the recognizing happens.

Fingerprint, Iris

If your PC has a fingerprint reader or eye scanner, you’ll see other Windows

Hello options in Settings: Fingerprint and Iris.

The procedures are exactly like the one described above, except this time
when you hit “Set up,” you’re asked to touch your finger to the reader a few

times, or hold your eye up to the eye scanner.

When it’s over, you’ll be able to sign in just by touching your fingertip to
the reader, or peeking into the eye reader—fast and secure.
