# Eye Scanning Phone Locks The Eyeverify Ensures It's You by Scanning Your Eye In a Snap By Ariel Weber | Published 2012-12-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeverify References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2012/12/eye-scan-smartphone-lock.html) & [eyeverify](http://www.eyeverify.com/) One of the best ideas in [verification technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pruvly-ai) yet, the EyeVerify easily unlocks your smartphone all by glancing at your phone. The software operates by something called [eye vein biometrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyetracking-solution). In laymen's terms, it is able to scan your eye, which identifies you by your ‘eyeprint.’ The company claims it operates in the same way as a [finger print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-system) or an iris scan. The software already has an eyeprint stored on the phone so that when you want to unlock it, all you have to do is look at the phone’s camera and look to either the left or the right for the technology to properly scan the eye. It will then compare the eye to the eyeprint and if it is a match, it will quickly open. The EyeVerify is a spectacular idea and will eliminate the need to ever remember a password again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eye Scanning Verification:** The use of eye scanning technology for verification purposes presents an opportunity to enhance security measures and reduce the reliance on traditional passwords. - **Biometric Identification:** The utilization of biometric identification, such as eye vein biometrics, can revolutionize the way individuals are identified and authenticated in various industries. - **Mobile Security Innovation:** The development of innovative mobile security measures, such as the EyeVerify technology, can enhance the overall protection of personal information stored on mobile devices. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile Device Manufacturers:** Mobile device manufacturers can integrate eye scanning technology into their products to provide users with an additional layer of security and convenience. - **Financial Technology:** Financial technology companies can leverage eye scanning technology to enhance identity verification measures for online transactions and other financial services. - **Healthcare:** The adoption of biometric identification in the healthcare industry can improve patient safety and streamline processes, such as access to medical records and secure messaging. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Palm-Recognizing Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phillips-palmlock.md) - [Identity Verification Infrastructures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-id.md) - [Facial Recognition Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-visage.md) - [Biometric Scanner Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-flex-touch.md) - [Accessible Palm-Scanning Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-palm-lock.md) - [High-Tech Residential Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-security-system.md) - [Facial Recognition Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-lock-ultra-vision.md) - [Biometric Bank-Grade Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securam-touch.md) - [Palm Print Authentication Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realme-gt5-pro.md)
