### 2D Infrared Face Unlock

The next step up in security is an infrared sensor. This requires dedicated hardware to be built into the device, which eats up space and adds cost to the device. But what you get in return is a form of face unlock that's more reliable in low-light conditions and more resistant to photographs.
