The Universal Usability of DOVIDs

Diffractive optically variable image devices (DOVIDs) are highly effective and robust security features for identity documents. Their inherent sophistication and security are known to offer a multitude of benefits in combating counterfeiting and ensuring the authenticity of ID documents.

DOVIDs can be incorporated into identity documents in various ways, offering a synthesis of security and aesthetics. They are widely appreciated for being easy to verify, both for trained experts and the general public.

While this ease of authentication reduces the potential for errors and enhances the overall efficiency of document verification processes, there are several use cases in which automated, or smartphone-based document authentication, can assist human-centred processes.
