Forbes Column We know who you are Joseph R Garber pg 110 Aug 10 1998 This article on biometrics focuses (positively) on Recognition Systems a "Campell, Calif. ... $12 million company"(private). Recognition utilizes 3d hand geometry. Touts their special software. He claims an industry no read of 2% for fingerprints. Also "most biometric technologies are computationally intensive; sure, you can buy a simple fingerprint reader for a few hundred bucks, but at a minimum you'll need a few thousand dollars' worth of PC to go with it." (??) Apparently Immigration is using Recognition's equipment at "JFK, Toronto, Newark and Miami airports." Apparently the NRC also uses it. "If you want to gamble on biometric stocks" the article gives a laundry list of public companies Identix, Printrak, Viisage etc. Then mentions Comparator Systems fiasco. "My guess: in five or ten years ...... a handful of biometric companies will be making big bucks......"
