The World ID Orb is a specialized biometric device developed by Worldcoin to verify a person’s unique identity. This spherical camera scans an individual’s iris, capturing detailed biometric data to ensure each person can only register once. The device is central to Worldcoin’s goal of providing a secure, privacy-preserving way to prove personhood online, especially in decentralized digital environments. The Orb does not store personal information beyond the biometric hash, aiming to balance identity verification with user privacy. Its use has sparked debates around data security, privacy concerns, and ethical implications of biometric data collection.
