Editing Iris recognition (section)

==Iris recognition in television and movies==
* ''[[I Origins]]'' (2014), a Hollywood film by writer-director Mike Cahill and winner of the Alfred Sloan Award for best exposition of technology (2014 Sundance Film Festival), uses iris recognition for its core plot. Culminating in India with the UIDAI project to encode and enroll the iris patterns of one billion or more Indian residents by the end of 2015, the film is described as a ''"science fiction love story incorporating spiritualism and reincarnation"'', seeking to reconcile science with religious spirit-world beliefs.
* [[Steven Spielberg]]'s 2002 [[science fiction]] film ''[[Minority Report (film)|Minority Report]]'' depicts a society in which what appears to be a form of iris recognition has become daily practice. The principal character undergoes an eye transplant in order to change his identity but continues to use his original eyes to gain access to restricted locations.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-02/-minority-report-may-come-to-real-world-with-iris-recognition.html|title='Minority Report' May Come to Real World With Iris Recognition|first=Chris|last=Dolmetsch|work=[[Bloomberg L.P.]]|date=2011-02-01|access-date=2013-07-14}}</ref>
* In ''[[The Island (2005 film)|The Island]]'' (2005), a clone character played by [[Ewan McGregor]] uses his eye to gain access through a security door in the home of his DNA donor.

* The TV series ''[[Numb3rs]],'' features a scene where a robber gets into the CalSci facility by cracking the code assigned to a specific iris.
* ''[[NCIS (TV series)|NCIS]]'' uses an iris scanner in the garage, where forensic vehicle investigations are carried out and evidence is stored. There is another scanner at the entrance to MTAC. The sequence of [[Leroy Jethro Gibbs]] being verified is shown in the title sequence. The imagery for this sequence has been "enhanced" using special effects. Iris recognition systems do not use the laser like beams shown in the sequence and the light that they do use is near-infrared and nearly invisible.
* The 2010 film [[Red (2010 film)|Red]] includes a scene where Bruce Willis' character uses a contact lens to pass an iris scan and gain access to CIA headquarters.
* The film "Angels and Demons" and also the book featured an iris scanner as the method by which the protagonist broke into CERN and stole one of the antimatter storage modules. 
* The film [[Demolition Man (film)|"Demolition Man"]] also had a scene where an eyeball on a stick was used to break into a weapons storage facility.
