Facial recognition technology is used in companies to help login and log out employees based on their iris scan and biometrics. Eye scanning includes the scanning of the iris, which is unique for each person same as different fingerprints. It is an easy way to safely lock certain documents with this technology so that no one except the actual owner can get access. This is safer than the biometric system and voice recognition technology. The rising advanced developments in this technology help to speed up the scanning process or search process. These are ideal for places such as airports, and border crossings where time is very crucial. Recently, in 2022, Iris ID, Inc. launched a self-service iCAM at the Intersec Dubai tradeshow, United Arab Emirates.
