SRI International has today announced it has licensed its Iris on the Move® (IOM) technology to Samsung to use on its mobile products. The agreement would also see SRI entering a sales, supply and production agreement for IOM technology-embedded Samsung mobile products for B2B applications.
The first device off the partnership is a re-worked version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablet which would come with a built-in IOM iris module.
