We, Xperix Inc., are a proven leader in biometrics & digital identity, and for good reason—our team is constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Our new product, the RealScan SG10, is a testament to that dedication. It's not just a new product; it's a leap forward in speed, capture quality, and integration.

But what goes on behind the scenes to create such a product? To get a glimpse, we sat down with Ryan Park and Lee Sang-min, who were instrumental in bringing the RealScan SG10 to life.

‍

Q: Can you tell us about the initial vision for the RealScan SG10? What was the problem you set out to solve?

A: For a long time, we have been looking for a way to surpass the RealScan-G10. RealScan-G10 is one of the iconic fingerprint scanners, and the best of its class over the past decade. So, we aimed to build a scanner that is faster, smaller, and more versatile than RealScan-G10.

There has always been an issue with the prism height. As you know, a lower prism creates more distortion, which means you need a complicated lens system to correct it. And this leads to larger hardware. But thanks to the expertise we gained developing the BioMini Slim series, we were able to overcome this challenge by perfecting our prism design and image distortion processing. Oh, we also wanted to add more advanced features, such as a USB-C port, Plug & Play, and USB 3.2 technology.

Q: What are the biggest innovations in the RealScan SG10 that make this leap forward possible?

A: The biggest innovation is our new optical system. We have designed an entirely new generation that enables us to deliver a compact, more modern design without compromising on performance.

We also focused on the operation. The RealScan SG10 has been optimized for speed, so it captures and processes fingerprints faster than ever. For the operator, this means instant, reliable fingerprint capture. We believe this is critical for applications that require high throughput, like border control, national ID, mobile enrollment, or large-scale identity projects.

Q: You mentioned the USB-C port and USB 3.2 technology. What benefits do these offer to customers?

A: The move to USB-C and USB 3.2 is a game-changer. This combination dramatically increases the data transfer speed, and this is essential for our business area. With USB-IF certification, the RealScan SG10 consumes less than 2.5 mA when the PC is in sleep mode. The lower consumption is a crucial point when using a mobile enrollment kit that requires a battery.

I also want to mention the Plug & Play feature. You don't need a driver for Windows OS; literally, when you plug the RealScan SG10's cable into a PC, it works immediately.

‍

Q: Of all the features, what's one you're most proud of?

A: Honestly, I’d have to say it's the hardware design. It's more than just a new look; it's a critical part of the entire optical system. We invested a long time refining the design to improve the bulky structure of the RealScan-G10. Hence, RealScan SG10 achieved a minimalistic and sophisticated design, also being the world's lowest optical scanner, which is integrated more easily with other hardware.

The Future of Biometrics

The RealScan SG10 is more than just a piece of hardware; it's the culmination of years of research and innovation, designed to meet the demands of tomorrow's challenges. We're proud to have created a product that our partners can trust, and we're just getting started.
