retinal scan
A device used to display temperature is called a thermometer. Thermometers can use various methods to measure temperature, such as mercury, digital sensors, or infrared technology.
Dr. Theodor Hannes Benzinger invented the first ear thermometer in 1964. The device was designed to measure a person's body temperature by detecting infrared heat waves emitted from the eardrum.
NASA does not produce ear thermometers. Ear thermometers are typically made by medical device manufacturers using infrared technology to measure the temperature inside the ear canal. NASA's focus is on space exploration and scientific research, so they do not manufacture medical devices for commercial use.
To view the peak of a nearby mountain, a pair of binoculars would be an ideal optical device. Binoculars provide magnification and depth perception, allowing for a clearer and more detailed view of distant objects. They are portable and easy to use, making them suitable for outdoor exploration. Additionally, their wide field of view helps in tracking movement or appreciating the landscape surrounding the mountain.
A palindromic word for a device that revolves could be "rotor." It reads the same forwards and backwards.
retinal scan
The type of biometric device you are referring to is an iris scanner. It captures the unique pattern of the colored part of the eye, called the iris, to identify individuals. The infrared beam helps in distinguishing the intricate details of the iris for accurate identification.
20. This type of biometric device uses an infrared beam to scan the color pattern surrounding the pupil of the eye:
The biometric device you're referring to is an iris scanner. It utilizes an infrared beam to capture the unique patterns and colors of the iris surrounding the pupil, which are distinct for each individual. This technology is commonly used for secure identification and access control, as the iris patterns are stable and difficult to replicate. Iris scanning is known for its high accuracy and reliability in biometric authentication.

biometric authentication device digital camera
Althogh there there are better biometric devices, face recognition is an example of biometric device because it has to recognize your face to authenticate you to a facility.
Most biometric devices would be input devices although they may also utilize storage devices and output devices in their functioning. A biometric device usually takes in biometric information about a person and compares it to information stored in a database - much like username/password methods of authentication compare the username and password to the stored information for a user. Fingerprint scanners, read the fingerprint, convert it to a data stream and then compare it to the stored data previously recorded for the individual, retinal scanners read information about the retinal patterns of a user, convert it to data and compare it to stored data, etc. Note that biometric devices must rely on a storage device, but usually the storage device is not part of the biometric device. Instances of OUTPUT associated with a biometric device might be a signal to open a door or trigger an alarm, but again, the output usually comes from another device that the biometric device is connected to.
Broadly, a "biometric device" is any device that measures a biological function or trait. As related to computers, biometric devices are used to control access and/or verify identity. Voice recognition, retinal scanners, palm/fingerprint scanners are all examples of biometric devices. A biometric scanner will take a picture (your fingerprint, your retina) and match it to a previous scan kept on file. Other types of biometric devices, such as voice recognition systems, will record your voice and compare the recording to a sample on file.

Yes they are input devices.
