Soon computers
and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program
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(眼睛识别) program is already
being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技术) will change 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 hands or even
your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or
the mark made by your fingers.
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 program can be up to 94% correct, depending
on (依靠) how
good the technology is. Some programs 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!
