Your selfie, reimagined.
Polar 3D enables relightable selfies and physically-realistic 3D facial data from a single image, processed fully on device.
How it works
Studio-quality 3D facial data in one shot.
Polar 3D is a powerful new application built on the same hardware platform as Polar ID. Using information extracted from polarized light, Polar 3D preserves true shape and material detail across environments, enabling more faithful rendering downstream.
Monocular shape-from-polarization imaging separates diffuse and specular reflections instantly, distinguishing true skin tone and texture from glare and lighting artifacts. The result is highlights that move naturally, shadows that fall correctly, and subtle surface detail that carries across environments. Because the signal is captured optically at the sensor, Polar 3D reduces downstream compute requirements.
Key advantages
The same Polar ID hardware for trusted authentication now enables digital presence.
01
Using polarization-based imaging technology for consumer devices, Polar 3D preserves true shape, texture, and surface detail across lighting conditions for efficient on-device perception.
02
Diffuse and specular reflections are separated instantly at the sensor, distinguishing true skin tone and texture from glare and lighting artifacts.
03
Because the signal is captured optically at the sensor, Polar 3D dramatically reduces downstream compute requirements. There is no need for scans, long captures, cloud processing, or complex reconstruction pipelines. As a result, the technology is suitable for smartphones, laptops, and other consumer devices.
04
Polar 3D builds on the same sensor-level metasurface architecture as Metalenz’s Polar ID™, the company’s polarization-based face authentication technology designed to protect against spoofing and ensure on-device trust. Together, Polar ID and Polar 3D form a unified optical platform, establishing identity in the physical world while enabling realism and self-representation in the digital one.
