Ice Cream Sandwich Face Unlock feature compromised

UPDATE: Just to clarify, the Galaxy Nexus in the video was setup to recognise my real face and not the picture taken using the Galaxy Note. See video link for more info. Apologies for the confusion.

Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GxYQAEJUTQ?t=7m34s

We received a question via Twitter asking if a printed photo can fool the Face Unlock to falsely recognise it as a real face and unlock the device.

So we tested it out. You'll be surprised as to what happened.

Thanks @yauhui for the question

360° video recording using six Xperia™ neo phones

Sony Ericsson’s experimental hub Xperia Studio recently collaborated with photographer and inventor Joergen Geerds to shoot an impressive 360° panoramic video of the Slickrock trails in Moab, Utah. Check out the cool results in the video above!
Xperia Studio also met up with Joergen and software engineer Daniel Finkler to find out how they solved the hardware and software challenges involved. More videos and information about this are available after the jump.
To create the video, the team sync’d together six Xperia™ neo phones and mounted them to the handlebars of a bike. As no cradle existed for that many neo phones, Joergen had to build one from scratch, using an Ultimaker 3D printer. You can play with the interactive 360° video on XperiaStudio.com.
Of course, shooting a 360° video using six Xperia™ phones isn’t a simple job, and that’s where software engineer Daniel Finkler came in. Daniel wrote the Android app that allowed the phones to talk to each other and to trigger the video recording. Watch the interview with Daniel below to find out more about how he pulled it off.

Experience a 360° ride down Slickrock Trail with Xperia Studio

Smartphones can be great tools for everybody, but what happens if we use them to remake reality? Well, we are finding out with Xperia Studio.
For the latest experiment, Xperia Studio collaborated with inventor and photographer Joergen Geerds to capture the incredible landscape in the Moab Desert, Utah in a full 360° panoramic video.
To capture the footage, Joergen built the first-ever smartphone powered 360 degree video recording rig: he used a 3D printer to manufacture a custom- made cradle that holds six Xperia neo phones in a ring, and then welded it to the handlebars of a mountain bike. Mark Sevenoff sped off down the Slickrock trail in the Moab Desert, Utah, while the phones recorded the trip, and Joegen stitched the video into an immersive 360 film.
Explore the interactive film that Joergen produced on XperiaStudio.com – and really get into the action discovering all the angles using your keyboard and mouse. And don’t forget to check out all the other videos and content we have there. You will be surprised on all that can be done with a Smartphone!
Also, if you want to know more of how this experiment turned into reality, check out the post we have in Developer World.
