Yes, that's an odd-looking smartphone, but that hat it's wearing is there for a good reason. It contains an infrared laser and camera, which are used to scan your iris in order to unlock your phone.
It's a new concept from Fujitsu and we went in for a closer look.
There are several good reasons to use eye-scanning to unlock your phone, says Fujitsu. For one, if your fingers are damp -- or you're wearing gloves -- fingerprint scanning won't work.
The iris apparently is more complex than a fingerprint too, meaning it's more secure, and the setup means you don't have to remember PIN codes or passwords. Sign me up.
Though a concept for now, Fujitsu says it will have the scanning technology built inside phones -- rather than sitting above -- due for release later this year.
