Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have found that iris patterns change over time, potentially posing a problem for biometric scanners.

What is Worldcoin’s Orb, and how does it work? Worldcoin’s Orb is a biometric scanning device designed to verify individuals’ identities through their unique iris patterns and create a ...

The iris is perfect for authentication and identification because each iris pattern is unique. The fine details found in each iris are much more complex than those found in fingerprints. In addition, ...

Iris recognition employs near-infrared or visible light scanning to record the pattern in an individual’s iris, which barring injury remains largely unchanged in a person from the age of 9 months.

Iris layers create distinct patterns that are unique to an individual—as distinctive as a person’s fingerprints.

Testing on a biometrics system that identifies people by iris patterns is set to go into effect at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany. The project involves 18 European countries.

A new mode of immigration clearance, using iris patterns and facial features, will become the main identification system at all Singapore checkpoints.

The whole program, however, depends on states being willing and able to submit iris patterns and other image files from sometimes incompatible systems.
