IriTech and Egistec partner to target mobile devices and VR/AR manufacturers

FAIRFAX, Va., February 22, 2017 – IriTech, Inc., a leading iris-based identity management technology solutions company enters a co-promotion agreement with Egis Technology Inc., a leading global provider of fingerprint sensors.

While IriTech is well known for its iris cameras and software utilized by global governments, such as the Indian government’s UIDAI project, and United Nations (Refugee Program and World Food Program), recently, InFocus, a Foxconn brand, has launched a smartphone with IriTech’s algorithm solution in India for the Aadhaar project after getting STQC certification with zero FRR.

The co-promotion with Egistec, who is already providing fingerprint solutions to top-tier smartphone manufacturers, is expected to create more opportunities for IriTech and Egistec in consumer technology while focusing on the mobile industry.

“Recently, IriTech is focusing on promoting its technology to mobile devices and VR/AR companies amid the importance of privacy and security. The VR and AR industry will become a huge market for IriTech and we already have our solution evaluated by big players. We plan to target more mobile, VR and AR manufacturers with Egis Tech’s sales force”, says Daniel Kim, CEO of IriTech.

IriTech’s prowess in iris recognition includes innovative approaches towards upcoming industries such as AR, VR and automotive.
