The iris in the human eye is one of the most unique features in the human body, and Bonneville County in the US has now introduced the technology to help locate missing children and elderly people.
The iris scanner is the first to be used by law enforcement in Idaho in the US, but the sheriff's office will however share it with additional departments throughout the state.
Someone who signs up for the system may be identified by simply having their eyes scanned by the device, which looks much like binoculars.
If a child is ever missing, their identification can be digitally sent around the entire country.
Some young children may not know their names or phone numbers if and when they're found missing, but can be identified by a quick iris scan. This technology works alongside fingerprinting, but is much quicker and easier to use.
