Story

Securing airports and travel is of utmost importance in today's world. However, the more security and screening that is added, the more burdensome it becomes both to operate and enforce and the more burdensome it becomes for travelers.

Through our Airport Security application, we can provide a seamless security process for a large number of passengers while minimizing the burden both on the state administering the security checkpoint and on the passenger.

Upon arriving at the security checkpoint:

The passenger is prompted to scan their right index finger, which pulls their records from the national database.

Their photo that is taken right after the finger print scan is simultaneously analyzed via Eyeris for gender, age and emotional state as well as IBM Watson for identity, gender and age.

By comparing records obtained via the fingerprint scan and IBM Watson, the identity of the passenger is double checked. The age and gender of the passenger is triple checked using the results of the fingerprint scan, IBM Watson and Eyeris.

By using Eyeris, the emotional state of the passenger is also determined, which enables the system to determine if the passenger is in a potentially risky state of mind.

If all checks out, the passenger is cleared to proceed. If any red flags come up, the system notifies the passenger and a security official so that further processing may take place.
