Samsung is working towards upgrading its biometric security in the near future. An exclusive licensing of its Iris on the Move (IOM) technology to Samsung for use in mobile devices has just been announced by SRI International (Stanford Research Institute). Iris on the Move encompasses a number of technologies built by SRI that, unlike normal biometric readers that make the user position their eyes for a few moments, allow the user to simply “glance and go”.
Samsung and SRI are teaming up to commence the production and sales of mobile devices with the new technology for B2B applications. A customized Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablet will be the first product from Samsung with the new iris recognition technology that will be introduced in the SIA New Product Showcase at ISC West 2015.
SRI says that Iris on the Move is normally suited for use in airports, access control and workforce management.
