Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 21:
22. A method, performed by a user using a user's computer device, for verifying three-dimensionality of the user, the method comprising:
capturing a first image of the user's head with a camera at a first distance from the user, the camera associated with the user's computing device;
changing a distance between the user and the camera to a second distance by the user moving the camera, or the user moving relative to the camera, or both;
capturing a second image of the user's head with the camera when the camera is at the second distance from the user, the second distance being different than the first distance;
comparing one or more aspects of the user's head from the first image to one or more aspects of the user's head from the second image to determine whether expected differences, between the first image and the second image, exist which indicates three-dimensionality of the user, such that the expected differences between the first image and the second image result from the first image being captured when the camera is at a different distance from the user than when the second image is captured; and
responsive to the comparing determining that expected differences between the first image and the second image exist, providing notice to the user, a third party, or both that the three-dimensionality of the user is verified.
