Abstract
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)Visualization and Usability Gropu initiated a Usability and Biometrics effort to focus on the users and human factors of biometric systems. The goal of this effort has been to conduct research to determine how user characteristics impact biometric system performance, as well as to provide resources (such as this handbook) for designers and developers of biometric devices. This handbook will work to introduce designers to the concept of usability and showcase the ways in which a properly implemented user-centered design process can improve a systems ease-of-use, effectiveness, and efficiency.Citation
