Having overcome the high costs and poor accuracy that once stunted its growth, one form of biometric techlogy -- facial recognition -- is quickly moving out of the realm of science fiction and into the commercial marketplace.

This book discusses recent and possible future advances in the use of facial recognition techlogies; ways consumers can benefit from these uses; and the privacy and security concerns raised while promoting invation.
