Biometrics is a method of identifying individuals based on biological characteristics. It has been used since the 1930s for identification, verification, and security purposes, making travel easier. Early biometrics included fingerprints, iris scans, and DNA. Current technologies use biometrics like face recognition, fingerprint scans, and voice recognition. Biometrics is now used in cloud-based applications and on devices like the iPhone X through facial recognition technology. While biometrics provides security and convenience, it also has costs and risks if not implemented properly. Disneyland uses biometric finger scans to ensure park tickets are only used by the person to whom they were issued.
