Abstract:
Vein pattern recognition is a relatively new biometric technique that has gained recognition and traction in the last years. Still, for active researchers of this domain, one of the problems that can be identified is the lack of end-user feedback regarding the usability and ergonomics of proposed biometric scanners. In addition, touch-free scanners introduce more issues regarding the pose and postures of users interacting with a biometric device. With the recent advent of virtual reality devices and motion capture systems, large scale tests can be conducted with commercially available packages at a fraction of the price and resource allocation of a real-life usability study. This paper aims to give an insight into the practical implementation of a virtual reality study applied to biometric usability and attempts to offer a possible roadmap where these technologies are complementing behavioral experiments in biometrics.
