First University in Colorado to Utilize Biometrics to
Gain Access to Dorm Rooms.

Denver, CO. — November 21, 2002 — All you need is your hand to gain
access to your dormitory room at Johnson & Wales University Denver.
Students no longer need to worry about lost keys or the fines
associated with that housekeeping item. Students entering the
Pulliam dorm need to slide their hand into the biometric hand reader
and in less than a second, the door will open and they can enter the
dorm. As they arrive on their specific floor, they need to slide
their hand into the hand reader in the hall and their personal dorm
room door will open.
Vizer Group has integrated Recognition Systems, Inc. (RSI) Hand
Readers with access control systems to create a user-friendly and
scalable system for the Denver campus. Of all the biometric
technologies, hand geometry has the highest user acceptance rate.
With the level of security, ease of use and non-threatening
technology, hand geometry has become the most widely accepted
biometric technology in use today. The hand geometry scanners
capture 90 measurements of the hand within one second. Measurements
include the length, width, thickness and surface area of the hand
and four fingers. The University is using the Hand Key II for
entrance access to the dormitories as well as access to individual
rooms.
J.D. Sawyer, director of campus operations, said, "Our students'
safety is our first priority and implementation of high-tech access
to buildings was practical. Vizer Group understood the opportunity
for more advanced security measures and installed the hand readers
in record time." The system is also practical for a variety of
reasons well beyond safety. The ability to provide 24-hour computer
lab access, meal plan debiting, and library book checkout are among
the many other applications for which we will use the hand scanners.
Scott Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Vizer Group, stated, "We
value the importance of integrating the latest technology to offer
the best system for any situation. We understood the need to partner
with Johnson & Wales in their efforts to secure their campus
buildings along with their students and staff."
