Soon computers and other machines will be
able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because
everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a
number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just
have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition(識(shí)別)programme is already being tested in shops
and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology
will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are
working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape
of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell
who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds
because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or
fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the
technology is. Some programmes may only be right 51% of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye-recognition. In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye.
So smile!
