The word is derived in part from the Greek word, Iris, meaning "rainbow," which in turn is derived from the goddess, Iris, the personification of the rainbow. She acted as a messenger of the gods. The rainbow unites earth and heaven, linking the gods to humanity. Iris travels the speed of wind, from one end of the world to the other, and into the depths of the sea and the underworld. Iris was said to have golden wings, and her twin sister, Arkhe, to have iridescent ones. During the Titan war, Zeus tore Arkhe's iridescent wings from her, and gave them as a gift to Nereid Thetis at her wedding. Nereid Thetis, then in turn, gave the wings to her son, Achilles, who wore them on his feet. Achilles was then known as Podarkhes, or "wing-footed with Arkhe's wings."

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.
In an iris scanner, near-infrared light waves are typically used to capture the unique pattern of the iris. These waves are able to penetrate the outer layers of the eye to create a detailed image of the iris structure, which is then used for identification purposes.
