Sagawa Advance, a Japanese technology company, has developed a biometric identification system which is superior to those currently available.
It uses a infrared scanner which compares 40,000 data points of a person’s face to those of faces in its database.
The technology can be used to secure access to various institutions including medical, government and financial buildings.
It is so precise that it can tell identical twins apart. Sagawa Advance will sell the scanner and database set later this year at a price of 6,000,000 yen ($60,000 US) and expects to sell 40 sets during its first year of sales.
