BWS-GUI

BWS HTML5 Unified User Interface

The BioID Web Service (BWS) is a cloud-based online service providing a powerful multimodal biometric technology with liveness detection to application developers. But often developers have some trouble writing a user interface collecting the data required to perform the biometric tasks, notably face images. Therefore we want to provide some sample code that might be used as a user interface to the BWS, in this case for a web based application using HTML5 with jQuery.

The uui folder contains everything you typically need to run a biometric task within a web browser. There are some PerformTask sample implementations (MVC, plain HTML5, PHP, ...) containing the client side code to perform the biometric task. The required javascript-, css- and image-files are in the corresponding folders. The jQuery script bws.capture.js does most of the work regarding image capturing, motion detection and AJAX-communication to the BWS. In clientBin you find an optionally usable Silverlight module that can be used to capture images in case that the browser does not support the HTML5 Media Capture API. The folder lang is for language support and contains json files for each supported language (currently EN and DE are available).

Examples:

Complete samples are provided in the samples folder, e.g. there is a Visual Studio ASP.NET MVC project in the mvc subfolder.

To successfully run one of the sample web apps, you need to have access to an existing BWS installation. If you don't have this access you can register for a trial instance.

You can also try this BWS user interface via our Playgound website.
