Iris Recognition Tech Addresses AR/VR/MR Markets

FotoNation unveils its IrisXR iris recognition solution for the AR, VR, and MR markets. IrisXR features the company’s MIRLIN iris recognition technology and offers state-of-the-art anti-spoofing detection, providing premium security and personalization. The solution will be available in Q1 2018.

 

The IrisXR solution addresses the challenges with head-mounted wearables, such as working at proximity, handling large occlusions and supporting wider eye gaze angles. With the highly secure (false acceptance rate of 1 in 10 million) and advanced MIRLIN technology, which is currently deployed in law enforcement and access control applications, IrisXR is a high performance biometric solution with a small memory footprint and low power consumption.

 

The AR, VR and MR markets continue to be a fast-growing segment, as dedicated AR and VR headsets collectively are expected to grow at a very strong pace from just under 10 million units in 2016 to just shy of 100 million units in 2021, with a five-year CAGR of 57.7%1).
