Do you still use a power button(开机键)to open your smart phones or computers? You are out of fashion! Now most smart phones are using facial-recognition system(面部识别系统), and we already have machines that can know you from your fingers and your voice too. But some companies are still willing to invent other systems to "break" these systems, for example, the eye-recognition system. As is reported, you'll just have to look at the computers and machines, and this system will be able to tell you who you are by looking at your eyes, even when you are wearing glasses.
Do you wonder if this system will work well? The answer is YES. All you need is just look at your machines. The eye scanner(扫描仪)is put in the cameras of your machines. The eye-recognition system is safer and easier than other systems. This is because everyone's eyes are different. Since the system works easily, you won't have to remember a group of code when you want to open your computer or take money out of a bank in the future. Eye-recognition system is better than other kinds of systems because your eyes don't change as you get older, and don't get dirty like hands or fingers. Even twins' eyes are not the same. So the eye-recognition system can be up to 94 percent correct, but it depends on how good the technology is. Some systems may only 51% right. In Britain, it was found that 91 percent of the people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. So scientists think it will become more popular than other systems.
The eye-recognition system has already been tested in shops in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey Soon it will become a popular way among public. In the future, your computer will be opened by looking at your eyes.
