NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- EyeLock LLC, the
leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions, announced
today that its nano iXT® iris recognition reader can now detect the
presence of a mask and conditionally deny access when one is not
being worn. The mask detection feature is enabled when the iTemp®
temperature screening module is connected.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses around the
world are requiring their employees to wear masks when they show up
at work. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has explicitly
stated, "We are not defenseless against COVID-19," said CDC
Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield.
"Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have
to slow and stop the spread of the virus, particularly when used
universally within a community setting. All Americans have a
responsibility to protect themselves, their families, and their
communities."
Jeff Carter, EyeLock's CEO,
stated, "When used in conjunction with the optional iTemp® module,
the nano iXT equips companies with a reliable and highly accurate
tool that helps create the safest possible working environment for
their employees, customers and all visiting parties. Detecting the
presence of an individual's mask combined with their temperature
can now be done quickly and with confidence on the same device.
Further, if an elevated temperature and/or lack of a mask is
detected, access into a business environment can be unconditionally
denied. The driving force behind these latest advancements in our
nano iXT is to provide greater safety and peace of mind for
everyone."
The nano iXT provides the technology framework to manage and
control the iTemp thermal sensor. Setting the temperature
threshold, denying the subject access if they are not wearing their
mask or when their temperature exceeds the threshold, are among the
key capabilities providing added value. When you consider its
accuracy, speed, simplicity, and price point, the nano iXT from
EyeLock is the ideal biometric solution for today's world.
