FACE ID Broken a Week After IPHONE X Release (wired.com)

For some reason I was under the impression that you needed a mask or head model that radiated warmth like a real person would. After catching up on my Face ID reading list, it seems to me that the infrared camera is not used to also create a heat map of the face. Can anybody confirm this?


It can't see heat, no. It sees projected infrared light (close to the visible spectrum) and generates a 3D model based on that.
