EyeSmart Technology Ltd. (China)

EyeSmart Technology Ltd. (Beijing Shima Dahua Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese high-tech company headquartered in the Wangjing Science and Technology Park in Chaoyang District, Beijing. The company focuses on iris recognition technology and holds fully independent intellectual property rights over its core algorithms. Its team claims nearly 20 years of research and market experience, and the company has participated in major national science and technology programs, including the National Torch Program industrialization demonstration project and special projects under the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Public Security during China's 13th Five-Year Plan. It is described as a drafter and promoter of domestic iris recognition industry standards. EyeSmart provides iris recognition products and turnkey application solutions across sectors such as security, social insurance, finance, education, and healthcare. Its technology portfolio includes iris recognition algorithms, iris modules, software development kits (SDKs), and complete hardware devices. The company states that its algorithm achieves recognition speeds of under one second and recognition distances of up to 6 meters, with a 99.93% accuracy rate in large-scale testing. As of 2026, it claims to hold more than 140 domestic and international patents and intellectual property rights. A notable breakthrough was a 2016 invention patent for a "two-in-one" mobile selfie camera and iris camera, which aimed to reduce iris hardware costs. EyeSmart has been deeply involved in India's Aadhaar project since 2014, contributing to the construction of what is described as the world's largest biometric database covering 1.2 billion people. The company was among the few Chinese firms to obtain complete Indian national iris recognition certification and was licensed by the Indian government to sell iris chips and access the Aadhaar database. Its iris payment solution was one of the earliest adopted in India. The company has received widespread media coverage in China, including from People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, and CCTV, and its founder has been recognized as a Beijing overseas high-level talent expert. EyeSmart's product line includes miniature iris recognition devices, desktop iris collection devices, vertical iris recognition devices, iris (face) tablets, iris (face) smartphones, wall-mounted iris recognition devices, and SDK development kits. The company also offers iris modules in standard sizes (5.5–9.5mm) and special long-focus lens modules for various application scenarios. It operates a cloud data platform for iris authentication, allowing developers to integrate iris recognition with just a few lines of code. The company's mission is to use smart iris technology to change lives, create value, ensure security, and support digital China.

EyeSmart Technology Ltd. (Beijing Shima Dahua Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Beijing-based high-tech company specializing in iris recognition. The company was founded by Dr. Wang Xiaopeng, who is recognized as a Beijing overseas high-level talent "special expert," a Beijing "Hai Ju Project" expert, a Beijing "Phoenix Plan" overseas high-level talent, a Beijing "Science and Technology New Star," and one of Zhongguancun's "Top Ten Returnee New Stars." The founding year is not specified in the available sources, but the company's team is described as having nearly 20 years of R&D and market experience. The company has participated in major national science and technology programs, including the National Torch Program industrialization demonstration project and special projects under the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Public Security during China's 13th Five-Year Plan. It is described as a drafter and promoter of domestic iris recognition industry standards. In January 2018, EyeSmart was reported to be participating in a 13th Five-Year national key special project, responsible for research on multi-biometric information collection platforms and methods, and committed to participating in drafting no fewer than four iris technology standards. EyeSmart's technological development includes several milestones. In 2014, the company claims to have launched the world's first iris recognition smartphone, becoming the first team internationally to miniaturize iris recognition technology for integration into personal mobile terminals. In 2015, it introduced EyeSquare, a compact mid-to-long distance iris encryption terminal for the consumer market, which aimed to break the high-cost bottleneck of iris recognition hardware. In 2016, it launched EyeMark, a mid-to-long distance iris plus face dual-factor product that uses face positioning and automatic iris capture to enable recognition in one second. Also in 2016, the company obtained a breakthrough invention patent for a "two-in-one" mobile selfie camera and iris camera, which enabled "zero cost" iris hardware. In 2017, EyeSmart's technology was successfully used by the Indian government for citizen identification, and the company became one of the first Chinese enterprises to obtain an Indian national iris recognition license, permitted to sell iris chips in India and access the 1.2 billion iris database. That same year, it began participating in the creation of China's iris industry standards. Since 2014, EyeSmart has been deeply involved in India's Aadhaar project, assisting in the construction of the world's largest biometric database covering 1.2 billion people. During a year-long large-scale algorithm performance test, EyeSmart's iris recognition algorithm achieved a 99.93% accuracy rate, standing out among eight national iris technology suppliers and making it one of the few Chinese companies with complete Indian national iris recognition certification. The company became a core supplier of iris identity authentication for the Indian government and multiple enterprises, and its iris payment solution was one of the earliest adopted in India. Based on its experience in India, EyeSmart established an iris cloud data platform to provide cloud-based big data solutions for iris authentication. As of 2026, the company claims to hold more than 140 domestic and international patents and intellectual property rights. Its algorithm is stated to achieve recognition speeds of under one second and recognition distances of up to 6 meters. The company provides iris solutions covering security, social insurance, finance, education, and healthcare, and offers algorithm-level and chip-level solutions. It has received widespread media coverage in China, including from People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, Economic Daily, and Science and Technology Daily, and has been received by multiple Vice Premiers of the State Council.
