New York – March 07, 2013 – Vision-Box® S.A. unveiled, during AVSEC 2013, a new biometric periscope, which upon detecting the user, automatically adjusts height and illumination to allow simultaneous, full-frontal ICAO compliant iris & face capture and matching. The “self-service” process takes place in a very organic and intuitive way. The user can keep walking and is not required to make any specific interaction with the periscope. Simple instructions are continuously provided via an integrated screen.
Miguel Leitmann, Senior Vice President of Vision-Box® S.A., emphasises that “this new technology has become an integral part our automated border clearance gates, boarding gates and enrolment kiosks, expanding their applicability beyond their use for electronic passports, identity cards or boarding passes, towards the integration with Frequent Traveller Programs”. Miguel added “Many airlines and airport operators have requested from us this additional feature in our products in order to better address the challenges and requirements of the passenger experience. Vision-Box today is the only company which provides a complete product portfolio to manage the identity management lifecycle at an airport, enabling a true end-to-end chain of trust and a positive traveller experience. This new addition reinforces our leadership and ability to deliver best-of-breed solutions to our customers”.
