The biometric authentication device myris is based on iris-identification technology. Like a fingerprint, the human iris is unmistakable. In using myris, a camera scans the iris and then facilitates personal access to certain websites, social networks, e-mails and other sensitive data. This makes the need for user names and passwords obsolete. The design of myris tames preconceptions of iris authentication with an approachable, friendly and easy-to-use device.
