I've not been able to find any information about how the iris scanner works. I don't yet have the phone, so this may be obvious already.
I know "iris scanning" uses near IR light, so I assume there's a LED that is probably invisible to the eye (but probably not to video). Which takes me to my question: is the sensor for the iris recognition that powers Windows Hello the front facing camera?
A follow-on question, if yes, would be how we can control the near IR LED (again, assumptions) and read/display just the near IR wavelength. This could open up new imaging application possibilities.
