Brian,
Do you plan to provide an overview of Bluetooth readers, since they started to emerge couple of years ago?
Also, barcode readers maybe getting obsolete as a mainstream technology for secure employee/contractor cards, but I see it having a renaissance for visitor and low security area passes. Any thoughts on that?
Both examples capitalize using a mobile phone for storing and managing access credentials.
On the biometrics side, there is new trend to use facial recognition for access control. Any thoughts/insights on that from you or other members?

Thanks, Brian! The article on BLE readers is great and I am going to post comments there, as I've been looking at that space for some time.
For the facial recognition, they are currently being used with turn styles:

Singapore airport in the last video is the best practical example of the facial recognition used for multiple applications.
