According to Bitcoin.com, the decentralized identity project Worldcoin announced that it has launched Orb verification (i.e. iris scanning) services in Guatemala, Poland and Malaysia, and launched the Face Auth feature. Face Auth is a new feature of its World ID suite, allowing other applications to verify whether the person using the ID is the same person who has been verified through the orb device (iris scanning device) at the Worldcoin center. This process only uses information from the user's mobile phone, protecting the privacy of user data and preventing possible fraud due to device theft.
