1. A head mountable system for identifying individuals using facial skin micromovements, the head mountable system comprising:
a wearable housing configured to be worn on a head of an individual;
at least one light source associated with the wearable housing and configured to project light towards a facial region of the head;
at least one detector associated with the wearable housing and configured to receive light reflections from the facial region and to output associated reflection signals;
at least one processor configured to:
analyze the reflection signals to determine specific facial skin micromovements of the individual, the specific facial skin micromovements resulting from vocalization or prevocalization of a sequence of phonemes by the individual;
access memory correlating a plurality of reference facial skin micromovements with the individual, wherein the plurality of reference facial skin micromovements is associated with differing phonemes previously vocalized or previously prevocalized by the individual;
search for a match between the determined specific facial skin micromovements and at least one of the plurality of reference facial skin micromovements in the memory;
if a match is identified, initiate a first action; and
if a match is not identified, initiate a second action different from the first action.
