1. A method for providing substantially continuous biometric identification of a user, comprising:

  • providing a headgear comprising a plurality of cameras oriented towards an eye of the user from different angles;

    analyzing one or more images from the cameras to identify an iris of the eye;

    selecting images from multiple cameras from the plurality of cameras providing desired views of the iris;

    creating a composite irisCode from the selected images;

    identifying the user based at least in part on the composite irisCode; and

    authorizing the user to perform one or more actions upon confirming the user'"'"'s identity,wherein the multiple cameras are selected because a large enough portion of the iris is identifiable from the images to satisfy a minimum stringency threshold needed to identify the user, andwherein the selected images provide images of the iris from multiple angles, and wherein creating the composite irisCode comprises selecting portions of the iris from the selected images and combining the portions of the iris into a composite image of the iris,the method further comprising, after authorizing the user to perform one or more actions;

    a) analyzing another set of images from the multiple cameras to identify features of the iris; and

    b) confirming the identity of the user based at least in part on the features of the iris from the another set of images,wherein steps a) and b) are repeated when a predetermined action is selected by the user that requires confirmation of identity before performing the predetermined action.
