The user, potentially police or border security, hold the scanner, called Stratus, a little less than a foot away from the eyes of the subject and can in a matter of seconds store or pull up ID information.<br />The new device, which is being scouted by security agencies around the country, also includes some other very useful features including a fingerprint scanner and facial recognition - all helpful tools contributing to nearly instant recognition technology.<br />The Stratus works by taking photographs of the iris with the help of a bright infrared light and analyzing specific patterns that are as unique as a fingerprint. The patterns are compared with a database.<br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />FOR MORE NEXT MEDIA ANIMATION, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NMAWorldEdition <br /><br />FOR MORE NEXT MEDIA ANIMATION IN ENGLISH, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NMAtv <br /><br />FOR MORE TOMONEWS US, GO TO:<br />http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TomoNewsUS <br /><br />FOR MORE TOMONEWS JP, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TomoNewsJP <br /><br />FOR MORE APPLE DAILY ENGLISH, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AppleDailyEnglish <br /><br />CHECK OUT THE ODDBODS!<br />http://www.youtube.com/user/nxTomo
