Here's our film about the trial we managed at Manchester Airport when we installed the sort of biometrics that identifies passengers by capturing an image of their iris in their eyes.
There are interviews with passengers who have gone through our security technology, Manchester Airport's product director, Mike Fazackerley and our founder, Neil Norman.
The most accurate biometrics in the world involve iris recognition; it's a bit like taking a digital photograph of the eye.
This sort of technology helps to heighten a security operation because people's biometric credentials can't be borrowed, lost or stolen. Nor do they need manual checking by internal security personnel and it saves time -- and budgets. HRS' biometrics also provide a slick, easy-to-use operational and data management tool.
In fact, the innovation behind this product ('biometrics in motion') helped HRS to scoop a prestigious Home Office award in February 2011.
Iris scans analyse the features in the coloured tissue surrounding the pupil which has more than 200 points that can be used for comparison, including rings, furrows and freckles. Iris technology combines computer vision, pattern recognition, statistical inference and optics.
