2a. The computer based innovation represented by my computational artifact is called Myris. Myris is a biometric security system that scans one’s iris to algorithmically process video images of the user’s eye signing them into secure websites, devices and other personal profiles. The intended purpose of Myris is to eliminate the utilization of standard passwords and to create a secure and foolproof method for accessing personal data. Simply put, “It lets anyone sign into accounts on websites or applications and unlock protected files with a quick glance into the mirror on its face” (http://dickinson.is/designing/eyelock/). My computational artifact illustrates the intended purpose of Myris by demonstrating the scanning of a person's eye. It also displays conceptual diagrams that map the iris. Lastly, I showcase a "wrong password case scenario".
2b. The computing tools I used to create my artifact included Google Images and Photoshop CS6. I compiled several images of the Myris eye scanner from Google images and also created a “wrong password” screen by editing the HTML code (inspect element) of the Google sign in page. These pictures were opened and edited utilizing the Photoshop CS6 software and the collage was created. …show more content…
Myris has unrealized potential for simplifying password management. This device will prevent users from being locked out of important accounts in which passwords are not remembered. This is a common theme amongst many old and some mentally deficient users. They all suffer from what I call, “forgetful password syndrome (FPS).” Password retrieval has never been faster or more efficient than with the revolutionary Eyelock iris detector. “No more usernames. No more passwords. One look is all it takes to verify your identity. Myris gives you up to 1-in-1.5 million security. And it is as easy as using a mirror”
