Biometrics. When you hear that word your mind probably jumps to thoughts of Jack Bauer in 24. Possibly Tom Cruise’s character in Minority Report. Or Daniel Craig as James Bond. Regardless of what hero comes to mind, we typically associate biometrics with identity verification or security. But often overlooked are the vital insights and ease of use biometrics enable. This presentation will look at biometric technology and what the future holds for consumers. Imagine sitting on a plane when your smartwatch, using biosensors, registers a decrease of glucose, signaling a drop in your blood sugar. The flight attendant is alerted and you are given water and a snack. This is the type of intelligent experience biometrics can provide. Skooks Pong of Synapse will give us a deep look into the life-changing capabilities this technology can unlock.
