Early Adopters in Mexico Lend Their Eyes to Global Biometric Project

A new biometric project called Worldcoin is underway in Mexico. The project uses a device called an orb to scan people's irises and create a unique numerical code called an iris code. This code can be used to verify a person's identity online and offline. The project has attracted a number of early adopters in Mexico who are willing to have their eyes scanned in exchange for a cryptocurrency bonus. However, the project has also been met with concerns about the privacy implications of iris scanning. It remains to be seen whether the Worldcoin project will be successful, but it has the potential to be a major development in the field of biometric identification.
