PROJECT: BIOMETRICS REPORT Creating "smart interfaces" in all sectors of industry, government, and the public arena is one of the fastest growing HCT
areas. These interfaces model, interpret, and analyze such human characteristics as speech, gesture, and vision. The field
of biometrics, in which humans authenticate themselves to machines, is an area of much interest to HCT people.
Fingerprint scans are one of the most frequently used biometric options, and this article, Biometric Student ldentification:
Practical Solutions for Accountability & Security in Schools, makesa case for the implementation of fingerprint scans in
schools.
