Panel Discussion
14:30 – Should Optical Security Devices be More Digital Friendly?
As digital verification tools become increasingly prevalent in document security, the integration of optical security features with digital readers, authentication apps, and AI tools has become a design requirement.
But is digital integration truly the right direction for optical security? Should the field instead focus on enhancing the inherent strengths of optical devices—visual impact, durability, and resistance to simulation — rather than becoming just another feature of a digital-first world?
This panel will examine whether the pursuit of digital compatibility risks diluting what makes optical security effective in the first place.
