BSNS WIRE) Who?Vision To Demonstrate New Fingerprint Biometrics Product Who?Vision To Demonstrate New Fingerprint Biometrics Products at COMDEX; Who?Vision Offers Convenience at Your Touch Business Editors & Computer Writers COMDEX FALL 99 LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 1999--Who?Vision will demonstrate new fingerprint biometrics products and technology applications during Fall COMDEX in Las Vegas. Who?Vision will hold meetings and exhibit its products and demos at the Bellagio Hotel from Nov. 15-19. The products and demos include: -- OEM Developer's Kit (released October 1999); -- Keyboard-based enterprise security solution with fingerprint sensor, smart-card reader and encryption technology (to be released Q4 1999); -- PCMCIA card with pop-out fingerprint sensor (to be released Q1 2000); -- Set-top TV box (demo of biometrics design-in capability); -- Point of Sale device (demo of biometrics using smart-card technology); -- Enterprise Security (demo of workstation login using biometrics and smart-card technology. "Who?Vision is introducing a host of new products to its customers at COMDEX this year," said Alex Dickinson, chief executive officer of Who?Vision. "We are particularly excited about our PCMCIA card which utilizes the technology we jointly developed with Philips Flat Display Systems (FDS)." Who?Vision and Philips FDS, a business group of Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands (NYSE:PHG), have successfully created and tested a new generation of extremely compact fingerprint biometrics solutions. In essence, this new solution places Who?Vision's patented TactileSense(TM) technology on a thin glass or plastic display engineered by Philips, creating a uniquely thin total solution. Who?Vision is committed to offering convenience and security at the touch of a fingerprint with its revolutionary TactileSense(TM) technology. TactileSense(TM) is a patented light-emitting polymer that results in a thinner, more durable fingerprint sensor. Without the need for a light source, the TactileSense(TM) polymer generates an image of the fingerprint patterns, identifying the unique characteristics that link it to an individual. TactileSense(TM) transforms the ridges, loops and whorls of a fingerprint into an optical image pattern. This pattern is captured as an optical image by a custom-designed sensor and then transformed into digital code.
