Iris recognition technology for mobile phones

8 November 2006 by axxxr
Oki Electric announced the development of iris recognition technology for camera-equipped mobile phones.

Unlike Oki’s previous iris recognition technology that relies on infrared cameras for the iris scan, the new technology uses ordinary mobile phone cameras.With plans to make the technology commercially available in March 2007, Oki hopes to boost the security of mobile phone payment systems.

According to Oki, any camera-equipped phone or PDA can perform iris recognition once the special software is installed. Identification accuracy is said to be high, with only 1 in 100,000 scans resulting in error, and the system can tell the difference between flesh-and-blood eyes and photographs. source:pinktentacle
