These examples of biometric convenience range from robot-run luxury hotels to connected police drones that utilize facial recognition as a means to capture criminals -- while aiming to reduce occurrences of wrongfully accused individuals in custody.
When looking at biometric innovations that are making consumers' travel experiences more enjoyable, standouts include passport-free airline boarding along with hassle-free baggage checks. While British Airways' recently introduced a face-scanning identification system for easy boarding, American airline Delta's baggage check kiosks also rely on facial recognition to decrease wait times, while increasing efficiency.
Other examples of biometric convenience to note include smart home security systems, buttonless fingerprint sensors, and emotion-sensing pop-up shops like eBay's recent brand activation which decoded visitors' facial expressions to reveal a set of recommended wish list items.
