A Study of Users with Visual Disabilities and a Fingerprint Process document icon This report presents the results of a usability study that examined how persons with visual impairments interact with a fingerprint scanner
NIST Contirbution to ISO/IEC JTC1 SC27 WG6 Icons, Symbols and Pictograms for use with Biometric Systems document icon The following document contains a set of symbols and pictograms to help the general public understand the concepts and procedures for using electronic systems that collect and/or evaluate fingerprints.
Effects of Scanner Height on Fingerprint Capture presentation This study examined the effect of the height of the sensor on the quality and the time required to collect fingerprints. User performance, both fingerprint quality and timing, was impacted by scanner height.
Ten-Print Fingerprint Capture: Effect of Instructional Modes on User Performance presentation

This study examines the effect of instructional modes on user performance. Posters were not as effective in providing instructions to users as video or verbal instructions.
Fingerprint Scanner Height and Angle presentation This presentation describes the DHS requested study of the effects of fingerprint scanner angle at various heights.
Usability of Biometrics, It starts with the User! Biometric Consortium Conference 2007 September 11, 2007 presentation This is the first track ever at the Biometrics Consortium Conference (2007) that is dedicated to the growing field of research into understanding the unique overlap between biometrics and usability.
Usability of Biometric Systems by Mary Theofanos of NIST presentation icon This presentation reviews the human factors and usability components of biometric systems. A video of the presentation and the presentation slides are available.
Usability Testing of Ten-Print Fingerprint Capture document icon A ten-print capture process was examined n terms of time, differing instructional modes (poster, video, or verbal), and what types of and how many errors are made during the process.
