Environmental Conditions

In order for biometrics to become pervasive in society - developers, researchers, and implementers need to understand how biometrics are affected when exposed to various environmental conditions. Environmental conditions include lighting, temperature, and device interaction ( another section details the subject of Human Biometric Sensor Interaction).
