First Mobile System That Allows You To Pay With Your Eyes

As per a report released by the Yonhap News Agency in the South Korea, the Samsung is planning to enable the payment through the IRIS scanning in the region. This was one of the recommendations made by the credit card firms in the country, and Samsung considered the advice quite seriously.

Though, these companies wanted this feature to be incorporated in the Galaxy Note 7 last year, but, then could only use it for the account verification and not the real transactions.

As per the experts, this method is far more secure than fingerprints and passwords, and thus, is capable of making the fraud virtually impossible.

The IRIS scanning is one of the three key biometric authentication methodologies available on the newly launched Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The other two methods include facial recognition and fingerprint sensor.

With the iris scanning, the Samsung devices can be locked by the users just by looking at them.

Allegedly, the Samsung’s rival, LG is also planning to enable the face –sensing technology for its smartphones, and on the recently released G6. The prime aim of LG behind this is to use this technology for the payments.
