The Future and Trends in Biometric Technologies: Enhancing Security in the Digital Age
Biometrics technology usage is increasing, with demand growing in various industries and sectors. Globally, the biometrics market was valued at $39.62 billion in 2021 and was on track to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 13.3% between 2022 and 2031, when it is projected to reach $136.18 billion.
Biometrics technology uses measurable biological features to authenticate digital user identity. Common biometrics methods include fingerprint authentication, facial recognition, iris recognition, and DNA testing. Artificial intelligence frequently is used to analyze data captured through biometrics tools and verify its authenticity. For example, AI can analyze facial recognition data to distinguish a 2D flat image from a 3D live image.
Biometric systems, powered by the marvels of biometric technology, have transformed the way we protect our digital assets. These systems leverage unique biological and behavioral characteristics, such as facial recognition, voice recognition, and fingerprint scanning, to grant access and verify identities. But what makes biometrics so remarkable? Why are businesses and individuals alike turning to these futuristic security solutions?
A biometric security system, harnessing the uniqueness of human physical and behavioral traits, has the potential to transform our cyber defenses, making them more resilient and personalized. With their ability to provide robust verification, enhanced authentication, and continuous monitoring, they're rapidly becoming the gold standard in cybersecurity.
From making security more user-friendly and efficient to ensuring non-repudiation in transactions, biometrics bring a host of benefits to the table. Even though there are potential challenges and initial investment costs to consider, the long-term payoff of a safer and more secure digital environment cannot be overstated.
As the world continues its rapid digital transformation, it's crucial for businesses and individuals alike to adopt and embrace the power of biometrics. We are standing on the threshold of a new era, where your digital identity is as unique and secure as you are, thanks to the unparalleled potential of biometric cyber security. With every scan, swipe, and touch, we are taking a step towards a safer digital future.
The risks to security and privacy will increase as people continue to give away biometric information to multiple platforms and providers. The fact remains that biometric technologies still operate on a centralized database, and any hacker with malicious intent can find ways to steal data from a computer network. With hackers stepping up their game and changing tactics, we need better and more sophisticated security services. To prevent identity theft and protect against fraudulent acts, heightened education, and awareness about how biometric data is processed and stored are needed. Globally, nations are moving to put regulations in place as more stakeholders recognize biometric technology’s immense potential.

Haptic technology works by combining the human part and the machine part. The machine part consists of sensors, actuators, computers, real-time algorithms, application program interface, and the end effector, wherein the computer acts as the brain of the entire system and sends appropriate commands to the human part through the end effector.
In the long-term, haptic technology is expected to move from wearable devices to handheld haptics and mid-air haptics. Handheld haptics supports large-scale body movement and eliminates limitations or challenges of wearable haptic technology, such as weight of the device, complex wiring in the device, constrained hand movement, etc. Handheld devices are slated to be easy and effective and can be used by merely picking it up. However, localizing the diverse requirement of virtual object’s senses such as vibrotactile patterns, texture feedback, thermal feedback, skin-stretch, softness, contact, etc., within a compact handheld device is very challenging.
