FaceAuth
Python Flask web application for quick access to study materials
Problem: Let’s imagine you wanted to download an assignment to your school computer, but you don’t want to enter a password and log in from your account, as it takes a long time and is not safe
Solution: Create a service/extension that will provide access to students and teachers by their face, all you need to do is look into the camera. This is convenient and does not require entering a password, as in the case when this is not your PC and you don’t want to provide any sensitive data. So I made the FaceAuth app that will help solve this problem
All you need to do is sign up (if you haven’t already), then you can select your profile from the list of users and start recording your face, it will take up to 30 seconds, after which the AI will be trained to recognize your face and all you have to do is look into the camera again to get access to study materials, this application can have as many implementations as you like, for instance, you can be redirected to a learning platform from where you can download files for work in class or your teacher can log in to your account on your device without a password and show you the solution to the assignment
To create a web application, I used Flask, since my AI model is in python, I also added beautiful animations using JavaScript, a MySql database was connected to store my users, you can watch a demo video of the application and I described all the code in the article on instructables.com
