EyeLock Biometrics Diversifying Into Facial Recognition, Says Voxx

Voxx International’s EyeLock segment is diversifying into facial biometrics with its introduction of NanoFace facial recognition, said the company Thursday. “For the past decade, EyeLock has been focused on iris recognition, building a strong portfolio of intellectual property with over 100 patents or patents pending,” it said. Though iris authentication remains EyeLock’s “forte,” it will also offer other biometric applications “as enterprises and consumers continue to gravitate towards multi-modal applications,” it said. EyeLock President Allen Ibaugh said “the expansion into facial authentication is a natural fit.” The EyeLock biometrics segment generated $800,000 for Voxx in the fiscal nine months ended Nov. 30.
