Biometrics
I originally
designed these for Hong Kong Science Museum, 2005
Fingerprints
Can you lean forward and find the red ring at the back of this exhibit?
Now press the tip of one finger against the middle of the red ring.
Can you see your fingerprint when you look through the eyepiece?
Nobody else in the whole world has exactly the same fingerprint-pattern
as you. Your DNA has made you special.
Iris
recognition
Put one eye as close as possible to the red eye-piece. Press the red
button and look inside.
Can you see a magnified reflection of your eye?
The iris is the ring around the black pupil in the centre. Do the muscles
in the iris make the pupil bigger or smaller when you switch the light
on? Notice the patterns in your iris. Nobody else in the whole world has
exactly the same iris-pattern as you. Your DNA has made you special.
Ear
recognition
Lean forward and look into the lower of the two mirrors.
Look at the reflection of the higher mirror. Can you see the small lamp
on the higher mirror? Move your head until the lamp shines onto your left
ear. By looking into the lower mirror, now you can examine your own ear!
Notice the patterns in the folds of your ear. Nobody else in the whole
world has exactly the same ear-folds as you. Your DNA has made you special.
