IU2 IriUniverse-Two Dual Iris Scanner

Dual iris capture provides several advantages: (1) Faster enrollment - both eyes captured simultaneously vs sequentially, (2) Biometric redundancy - if one iris is damaged or has cataracts, the other can be used, (3) Enhanced accuracy - matching can use data from both eyes, (4) Higher throughput - 40-50% faster than single-eye systems in high-volume scenarios.

Yes, the IU2 is fully compatible with UIDAI-approved enrollment software. It supports standard TWAIN and WIA drivers, making it plug-and-play with most enrollment applications. The device also supports ISO/IEC 19794-6 format for iris templates, ensuring interoperability with other UIDAI-certified systems.

The IU2 includes real-time visual feedback (LED indicators) and optional audio cues that guide users to the optimal capture position. The system detects eye location, distance, and focus, providing instant feedback like "move closer," "hold steady," or "ready to capture." This intelligent guidance reduces operator workload and speeds up enrollment for inexperienced users.

The IU2 employs multi-level liveness detection including: (1) Iris texture analysis - verifies natural iris structure, (2) Pupil response - checks for natural pupil dilation/constriction, (3) Eye movement tracking - detects natural eye motion, (4) Depth perception - ensures 3D presence vs 2D image. This combination effectively prevents photo, video, and prosthetic eye attacks.

Users with cataracts or other eye conditions can still be enrolled using the unaffected eye. The dual-camera system's advantage here is that if one eye is compromised, the other can be used for authentication. For users with conditions affecting both eyes, iris recognition may not be suitable and alternative biometric modalities should be considered.

The IU2 SDK supports C++, Java, and .NET (C#/VB.NET). Complete sample code is provided for all platforms showing image capture, quality assessment, template extraction, and matching functions. REST API is also available for web-based integrations. Linux users can use the included C++ SDK or command-line utilities.

With trained operators, the IU2 can process 300-500 enrollments per day per device. The fast 1.5-second capture time combined with auto-positioning guidance enables high throughput. In optimal conditions with experienced operators, some centers report 600+ daily enrollments. The device's MTBF rating ensures reliability even under heavy daily use.

The IU2 can operate in single-camera mode if one camera fails, though this is extremely rare given the MTBF rating. In single-camera mode, it functions like a single-eye scanner. The SDK can detect camera status and alert operators to any issues. BioEnable provides quick turnaround on warranty repairs, typically 7-10 business days.

Basic training is recommended but not mandatory due to the auto-positioning feature. A 2-hour training session typically covers device operation, quality checking, troubleshooting, and best practices. BioEnable provides training materials and videos. The device's intuitive design allows operators to become proficient within a few days of regular use.

The 2-year warranty covers all manufacturing defects, camera failures, and electronic component issues. It includes free firmware updates, technical support, and SDK assistance. Warranty repairs or replacements are processed within 7-10 business days. Physical damage, liquid ingress, and misuse are not covered. Extended warranty and AMC options are available for purchase.
