Effortless Human Factors
What’s revolutionary about the AOptix iris recognition system is our emphasis on advancing subject human factors in the collection of iris biometric images. Subjects in the real world are often unaccustomed to interacting with “high tech” devices, especially if, as in the case of first time enrollment, they are experiencing the device for the first time. Language barriers can also add to failures of enrollment or acquisition.
Our human factors, or ergonomics paradigm, are to let the system find the subject rather than the other way around, as is the case for other iris imagers on the market today. The subject merely needs to enter the very large capture zone of approximately one cubic meter, then look at the AOptix imager and open their eyes for one to two seconds.
The instruction set to subjects for the AOptix iris imager is extraordinarily simple, reflecting the ease of successfully providing very high quality biometrics images quickly, without fail. No longer does the subject need to follow indicator lights or vocalization feedback to position themselves.
This advanced concept of human factors in iris biometric image capture applies equally to enrollment and identification (or recognition) applications. Enrollment will most often involve subjects that have never experienced an iris recognition system before, and so many will be unable to follow the complex instructions of existing systems resulting in varying and sometimes poor image quality. In this way, the AOptix system is ideal for very large population enrollment projects, such as national or regional ID cards and government worker ID’s.
In identification or recognition mode, the ease of subject participation and the speed of the system delivers high throughput, essential for high volume access control deployments in which access demand occurs in peaks, such as shift changeover times.
We believe that the main barrier to utilization of the very powerful technology of iris recognition for biometric identification and authentication has been the human factors limitation of existing iris biometric imagers. It is this advancement that will unleash the full potential of iris recognition biometrics in a wide variety of high accuracy identification applications.
