NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- EyeLock
LLC, a leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions,
today announced it has integrated its embedded iris recognition
technology into VICKI™, ViaTouch Media's auto-retail solution that
has been designed to change the vending landscape by implementing
highly secure transactions and access control.
"We are very pleased to be an integral part of the commercial
launch of VICKI™, the ground-breaking auto retail solution
developed by ViaTouch. With a multitude of innovations included in
this machine, the addition of EyeLock iris authentication
technology creates an even greater separation between VICKI™ and
current vending solutions. In particular, it provides a level of
security significantly greater than fingerprint or facial
recognition," said Jeff Carter,
EyeLock's Chief Executive Officer.
VICKI will provide consumers with the easiest and most secure
authentication process, with EyeLock's technology embedded directly
into the machine. Further, the inclusion of EyeLock's embedded
technology gives consumers and businesses a fast, easy-to-use
experience plus the confidence of knowing their transactions will
be secure. The total solution is integrated and operable with First
Data's online payment networks.
VICKI is an Internet of Things (IOT), self-checkout solution for
retail, powered by artificial intelligence and other advanced
technologies. It is a modern replacement for traditional vending
experiences and the first retail solution to leverage AI at the
point-of-sale. VICKI can recognize and authenticate consumers,
learn their preferences and then act on them, serving as a virtual
clerk. The retailing system is equipped with smart shelves that
know what and how much is on each, which products consumers look
at, what they take/put back and view on display. In addition, VICKI
communicates with consumers via directional speakers, so
conversations are only between the machine and consumer.
"VICKI uses a combination of computer vision, patented sensors
and artificial intelligence, making it the world's first AI virtual
clerk at the point of sale. In ViaTouch's collaboration with
EyeLock and First Data, we are able to provide convenience, value
and security second to none," said Tom
Murn, ViaTouch Media's Chief Executive Officer.
VICKI is available now. Initial deployments will be on ViaTouch
machines strategically launched on university campuses, in hotels
and hospitals as well as select retail partners.
EyeLock's technology provides an unprecedented level of
convenience and security with unmatched biometric accuracy, making
it the most effective way to authenticate identity aside from DNA.
EyeLock's proprietary iris authentication technology looks at more
than 240 unique iris characteristics and provides a fast,
user-friendly authentication experience. This technology is easily
embeddable into other technologies and is suitable for use in many
market segments. While biometric modalities such as facial and
fingerprint recognition are satisfactory for low to medium security
applications, iris provides the highest level of security and
convenience. Notable use cases for iris identification include, but
are not limited to, enterprise, healthcare, financial services,
education, corrections, stadiums, border control, automotive,
government, and more.
