A Paradigm Shift in Security: Next-Generation 3D Solutions

A Paradigm Shift in Security: Next-Generation 3D Solutions

The RealSense brand, whose first seeds were sown within Intel’s Perceptual Computing Division to develop technologies such as motion control, face recognition, and eye tracking, is now known for the 3D camera technology it has developed worldwide. Separating from Intel in 2025, the brand has turned its compass toward the fields of robotics, embedded systems, and biometric authentication.

RealSense first emerged within Intel with the aim of leading various markets—such as robotics, drones, virtual reality (VR/AR), and general client applications—by adding “human-like senses” to devices. It began integrating its first camera and sensor hardware into laptops and peripherals between 2015 and 2016. Steering its efforts toward robotic, industrial, and embedded applications towards the end of the 2010s, RealSense continues its commercial operations as RealSense Inc. following its separation from Intel in 2025.

3D Camera Technology in Access Control Security

In the field of access control security, facial recognition devices developed to date are dependent on one another in many ways. Examples of this include the requirement for server connectivity, the processing of biometric data on a server, or the inability of devices to operate autonomously. With the BioAffix Gate Vision and BioAffix Gate Vision Mobile hardware, developed through the collaboration of BioAffix and RealSense, biometric data remains solely with the individuals performing the access transaction, while the verification of this data is provided by cameras developed by RealSense. This ensures a system fully compliant with GDPR and KVKK regulations while providing secure verification of biometric data with a very low margin of error.

Returning Home with Awards

BioAffix Gate Vision and BioAffix Gate Vision Mobile, a globally unique access control solution produced through the partnership of these two brands, were selected as leaders in the Mobile Solutions and Biometrics categories at the highly prestigious ISC West event held in the USA in 2025. In an organization attended by many global brands, this award—a first for both Intel and the BioAffix brand—is not merely an indicator of success attributed to an electronic component, but also an honor for the innovators involved in the entire process, starting from the ideation phase. The collaboration between BioAffix and RealSense is evaluated as a union that will provide high benefits for companies positioning themselves within the axis of production and R&D.

Another feature driving the success of this ecosystem is that Gate Vision hardware does not require any server to perform verification processes. While all traditional systems possess a server dependency, the Gate Vision product family operates independently. The idea of having no server might sound insecure at first glance. However, integrating MRZ technology into Gate Vision’s biometric verification capabilities ensures the solution operates serverless and much more securely. Users wishing to gain access can perform verification using the MRZ data on their passports and ID cards issued by their respective countries, utilizing RealSense’s 3D camera which offers high-security features. In this way, biometric data is not recorded, processed, or shared; it is strictly verified.

The two awards received at ISC West 2025 clearly demonstrated that the RealSense and BioAffix partnership is a successful alliance geared toward the future. This collaboration has provided profound benefits for both brands in delivering secure innovation in a niche area that was previously unnoticed or unconsidered in the sector, and in pioneering the creation of new know-how. This development, which succeeded in focusing the attention of many global brands on a sectoral innovation, has created a global resonance in the access control security industry and attracted the attention of the sector’s major players. The collaboration between BioAffix and RealSense has shown once again that the definition of an innovator cannot be attributed to specific geographical regions, and demonstrated the magnitude of technologies that can be developed through collaborations established by creative minds.
