A Korean company called JIRIS is hoping to make iris scanning easier with the JPC1000, which the company is billing as the first consumer-level iris scanner. The device snaps onto the top of your PC, webcam-like, and can then be used for a range of authentication functions, including banking transactions (we've never been asked to get our eye scanned by our online bank, but that's what JIRIS is telling us). A future model will include webcam functions, which we assume will make it handy for those video conference calls where you need to have your eyeball scanned to prove that you're not some bot that slipped into the office and assumed your identity.
