Windows Hello Devices

[blair]

IS it me or is it extremely hard to find any devices that add Windows Hello functionality to a desktop I know of Tobii EyeX but I don't wish to permanently attach a magnet to my nice new monitor.

Any cameras or fingerprint sensors out there that add this functionality?

These work...

Unfortunately a normal webcam doesn't work as the webcam needs to be IR illuminated so that Windows can tell the difference between the real you and a photo.

Are there any fingerprint scanners that work with Hello that don't require a swipe?

Seems odd there is this feature Microsoft bangs on about all the time yet no one makes anything that will do it lol.

Also some AMD APU powered notebooks (I think amd apu desktops too) offered facial recognition log-in option... But how many apu notebooks are out there.... (with a camera good enough to support it)

update got a razer stargazer camera that supports windows hello. works really well even faster and more accurate that the ones built into surface devices.
