The program uses an elaborate series of face scans to determine exactly what your face looks like. Once authenticated you can use your face as the password for your computer system as a whole, as well as certain applications on your computer.
Once downloaded onto your computer, FaceCode scans your face several times in order to get a good feel for what your face looks like.
