HOPE Number Six (2006),
July 22, 2006, 12:30 a.m.
(Unknown duration).
The buzzword at the moment is biometrics. Everyone is talking about it and consumers get laptops with shiny fingerprint scanners. In reality, biometric systems often don't work. In the movies we can see what biometric recognition systems will look like and how they will work in the future. You can have your eyeball or face scanned and then you can easily walk through high security gates. The biometric system works flawlessly - until your eyeball gets stolen.
Thanks to the movies, we also know biometric scanners are easy to defeat. Examples will be shown from movies like Mission Impossible or Charlie's Angels where the nifty biometric security software is tricked by simple contact lenses, or stick-on fingerprints.
