In addition to merely capturing selfies or allowing you to make video calls, the presence of TrueDepth front camera also makes your iPhone X eligible for Attention Aware Systems.
TrueDepth camera in your iPhone X can scan, analyze, and recognize more than 30,000 invisible points on your face, and uses the data to personalize your phone, thus making it more like your personal assistant.
Attention Aware Systems?
Attention Aware Systems rely primarily on the TrueDepth camera to make your iPhone X more convenient and user-friendly to use while keeping it more secure, accurate, and reliable at the same time. The two TrueDepth camera-driven Attention Aware Systems are:

Both the Attention Aware Systems are enabled in your iPhone X by default.
Attention Aware Recognition
With the Attention Aware Recognition system enabled, your iPhone X can be unlocked using your Face ID only when you’re looking directly at its screen.
However, this feature is customizable, i.e. if you want, you can disable Attention Aware Recognition in your iPhone X. When disabled, the phone can be unlocked with your Face ID as long as it is in front of your face, even if you’re not looking at its screen.
Although not recommended, here’s how you can disable Attention Aware Recognition on your iPhone X:
Tap to disable the Require Attention for Face ID toggle button from under the ATTENTION section, and tap OK when prompted. When disabled, your iPhone X can be unlocked with your Face ID even when you’re not looking at the screen.
Note: Nevertheless, your iPhone X must be placed in front of your face in order to unlock it using Face ID.
Note: Disabling Require Attention for Face ID in your iPhone X can decrease the strength of its security and make it vulnerable to risks.
