WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY?

​The ColorID Biometric Dining solution allows schools to add biometrics to any card-based system without significantly altering current processes.

ColorID provides IRIS ID iris cameras and software, which work in conjunction with existing campus software and hardware. While the ColorID system does add a step to the enrollment process, all database management and student and staff permissions continue to be controlled by the existing system to which it is connected. In effect, the user’s eyes become the key to the unique identifier that is associated with their cards. The iris solution does not replace a school’s card-based system; in fact, it is an extension of that system.

Iris identification uses special on-board cameras to capture high-resolution images of irises. Algorithms then derive templates from over 240 unique points found in each iris photo and perform very fast matching functions within the iris database. Irises are known to be the most unique and chaotically random formations in the human body, with a 10-78 likelihood of two people having identical irises.
​
​Over 5600 students at Georgia Southern University have been using the ColorID iris solution for their dining plans. Since August 2013, 10 cameras in two dining facilities have been processing over 8,000 transactions daily.
