Visionics has become part of Identix, which we've covered before in the
airport and commercial face recognition context:

Pre-PMA 2005: Nikon has today announced a unique new feature which is
available in their new Coolpix 7900, 5900 and 7600 compact digital
cameras. Face-Priority AF is available in Portrait Mode and when active
can identify facial features in the live view and activate auto-focus on
these areas. This new feature was developed in conjunction with Identix
and their FaceIt technology. (05:05 GMT)
