SRI International announced an
exclusive license deal with Samsung to use its IOM (Iris on the Move)
technology to Samsung for use in its mobile devices.
The first product among the list is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4
tablet which will come with this technology built-in to make use of the
iris recognition, hinted by SRI in their announcement.
SRI International today announced an exclusive license of
Iris on the Move® (IOM) technologies to Samsung for use in Samsung
mobile products. Additionally SRI has entered into a supply agreement to
start production and sales of the IOM technology-embedded Samsung
mobile products for B2B applications. The initial product for this
supply agreement will be a customized Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablet
with a built-in IOM iris module.
Galaxy Tab S line up was introduced back at Mobile World Congress
2014, but we didn’t see its successor this year. The Mobile World
Congress 2015 is history, but rather than the new tablets, Samsung
introduced its latest flagship devices, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6
Edge.
SRI mentioned the product will be unveiled at the “SIA New Product
Showcase at ISC West 2015 (the largest security industry trade show in
the U.S.) and offered worldwide through SRI partners and resellers.
We don’t know much about the upcoming product from the folks at
Samsung featuring this new technology, but we’ll update you as soon as
we get any other information about the upcoming Galaxy Tab S 8.4.
