Orb verification experience

Self-serve Orb verification

A person holds a phone displaying a verification screen while interacting with an Orb for biometric verification. The screen shows a digital representation of a face, indicating the verification process.

After downloading World App, users visit an Orb to receive their proof of human. In 30 seconds, the Orb takes images of the user's face and eyes to confirm they are a unique human. Once completed, users receive their verified World ID and remain in full control of their data.
