IriScan to Participate in World Gaming Congress & Expo

16 September 1998

LAS VEGAS -- IriScan, Inc., the exclusive worldwide developer of iris recognition technology, will have a booth (#1370) at the World Gaming Congress & Expo, to be held September 23 through September 25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

IriScan, Inc. is the exclusive developer of iris recognition technology for automated biometric systems. The company’s technology for personal identification or verification relies on highly sophisticated processing of images of the iris—the colored ring surrounding the pupil. The iris is the most personally distinct feature of the human body that is available for non-intrusive, non-contact and precise mathematical analysis.

Based in Marlton, New Jersey, the company holds the exclusive worldwide patents on iris recognition, including the concept originated by Dr. Leonard Flom and Dr. Aran Safir, and the software process technology invented by Dr. John Daugman of Cambridge University, England. Dr. Daugman, an acknowledged expert in artificial intelligence, neural networks and information theory, supports continual development of iris recognition technology.

Iris recognition technology can be utilized in any situation where cards, PINs and passwords are used. It can, thus, help make transactions (ATMs, credit cards) or access to places, information or accounts easier, quicker and more secure.

Following is a list of some of the things IriScan is proposing their products will allow you to do:

  • Withdraw money from an ATM without remembering a PIN, and possibly without even needing a card.
  • Open the front door of your home without fumbling for keys.
  • Securely validate your credit card transactions for goods and service purchased at a retail establishment or over the Internet... or make credit card purchases without a credit card.
  • Access your office building easily, even if you leave your ID badge on the kitchen counter at home.
  • Purchase ticketless airline travel and have a quick and secure ID verification at the gateway without juggling your bags or displaying the location of your wallet.
  • Use mass-transit commuter train systems without the worry of tokens or facecards.
  • Start your car with only a glance in the rear view mirror
