Universal Registration Client (URC) is a configurable Windows-based .NET application that leverages BioComponents™ and Aware SDKs to perform biometric data capture, analysis, matching, formatting, and hardware abstraction. It supports fingerprint, face, and iris biometrics, as well as automated fingerprint identification services (AFIS), and is designed for both learning and customization via available source code.
