Sarnoff Corp. aims to make iris technology easier to use without having to stop and look at a camera, says David Cheskis from the iris vendor. “We can do 30 people per minute without constraining them,” he says.

The company has managed to do this through a patented technology that includes many features. “We use a combination of high-speed illumination in the right wave lengths with high-speed camera technology to capture the irises,” Cheskis says.

Neurotechnology announced that it has developed three versions of embedded solutions for Android-powered devices such as smart phones and tablets.

Specifically, Neurotechnology has ported its VeriFinger Embedded software development kit (SDK), which authenticates user identities via fingerprints, VeriLook Embedded SDK, which authenticates user identities via facial recognition, and MegaMatcher Embedded SDK, which authenticates user identities via both fingerprints and facial recognition. A version that utilizes iris recognition also is in the works.
