ABC News Special Uses IQ Biometrix Software
In Prime-Time Segment On Sept. 11 Attacks
Composite Pictures of Osama bin Laden Broadcast Nationwide
CUPERTINO,
Calif., March 12, 2002 - In a prime-time television special,
ABC News on Monday evening created composite pictures of
Osama bin Laden using advanced facial comparison software
from IQ Biometrix. Inc., (OTC: JVWW.OB), a worldwide provider
of facial comparison security software.
In
an ABC News Special entitled, "The Hunt for Osama bin
Laden," Robert Rios, a retired police department lieutenant
officer with IQ Biometrix, showed how the company's FACES
software helped intelligence officials easily and quickly
produce images of bin Laden in different disguises - including
pictures without a beard and dressed in western clothes.
(To see a demonstration, visit www.iqbiometrix.com.)
FACES
is used by more than 150,000 people around the world and
5,000 military, police and intelligence agencies, including
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. military.
The software frequently powers the composite images used
in the popular TV series, "America's Most Wanted."
"FACES
technology has the ability to create amazingly precise composite
pictures of individuals, and users can do that in just a
few keystrokes," said IQ Biometrix CEO Pierre Cote.
"With FACES technology, military and law enforcement
officials have a great tool to help them apprehend terrorists
and criminals."
IQ
Biometrix has established an international identification
standard for the transmission of data using composite facial
image. FACES, The Ultimate Composite Picture™, transforms
the process of identifying individuals by facial comparison
into a quick, two-step procedure that can be performed by
anyone with access to a computer.
On
Feb. 28, IQ Biometrix announced signing a merger agreement
with JVWeb Inc., a publicly traded, OTC Bulletin Board stock.
