I'm currently on the phone speaking with the creators of the images….

This is only an exciting find for me if they are going to give permission for their photos to be used for texturing. Without it, you are in breach of copyright law if you use them to produce anything at all. I will be emailing them to ask about the use of their photos for texturing, as they really are the most detailed eye shots I have seen online.

There is no indication whatsoever that these images are free for any purpose except as examples for the scanner results.

Len van der Westhuizen got a pretty detailed shot of his own iris for his face model (showcased previously on BlenderNation). Basically all he did was snap a photo, look the other way, snap another photo, and just repeat, then just merge those photos in Photoshop. The end product was pretty awesome!

I hope they also supply the name and birth date of the owners of the irises so one can use this pictures for really easy identity theft. If you don't know: There are iris scanners in use which can be tricked by a printed version of the iris. There are also scanners that can't be tricked, but how often is all the hardware a company buys replaced?

Other than that: cool.

Uh… I'm not certain that these images are "Free to use"

I don't see anything on their site that implies or explicitly says so, either.
