Maybe they are unused because the implementation was poor. And the implementation was poor because a Pentium 2 processor is shit and deep learning has only been practical in the last couple of years.

More specifically, I had a Palm Pilot, and you had to write using weird letter shapes for it to work.

The implementation worked great. You walked up to your computer, turned it on, and looked at the camera. Bam! You were logged in, assuming you had enough proper light on your face for the software to make out your facial shape.

It was just bloody annoying because you had to wait about 15 seconds for it to figure everything out. It was far faster to just use the keyboard.
