WeCU Technologies kiosk detection system advances airport security
June 23, 2010
As a response to the 2002 wake of renewed terror attacks in Israel, WeCU Technologies, an Israeli startup, proposes to measure intent by reading physiological signals, including rapid eye movements and heightened body temperature, to identify risky passengers, all assembled on a seemingly standard kiosk, according tofastcompany.com.
WeCU says their technology can pick-out out the ill-intentioned from the merely stressed out travelers. The technology works off a system of electronic sensors and information gained from behavioral studies. As part of a routine check-in at an airport kiosk, travelers will be subjected to a near-invisible stimulus that will trigger physiological responses among those who are "concealing" something. Sensors hidden in the kiosk will pick up the cues and alert security officers.
WeCU's system has undergone testing in Israel for the past six months; the deployment of the technology is proposed to be ready within a year.
