Biometics on the 5555
I spent a considerable amount of time evaluating the 5555 and the biometic API's (which HP removed general public access too, but thats another thread)
I found the more you enroll people the better the fetch hits were. But every once in a while you would hit someone was tougher to scan. This brings up all sorts of issues if you use this for time and attendance or access applications. Not only do you slow down peoples movement but you make them really mad!
Being Thermal was the other let down, if someone comes in from the cold and wants access sorry!
There was also a built in flaw that if you depressed one of the device buttons while swiping, the window focus was removed from the scanner and this reduced your scanning rate to zero.
but all and all it is a great step forward in bringing this kind of f(x) to devices and people want more. I still don't belive they discontinued the 5555
