EV SmartCard
ID System
Here is what premies now need to enter Elan Vital's events.
There is a microship imbedded in the card.
And here is what Elan Vital says about it, in a mail - including the application form - that's been addressed to all active premies.
Introducing the Smart Card
...one more step toward making it easier to keep in touchOver the years there has been an ongoing effort to make attendance at events as smooth and easy as possible. Now a new technology, available to people who have received Knowledge, is being introduced to simplify the process even further.
The Smart Card will streamline the registration and entry process, primarily at events for people with Knowledge. In addition, the Smart Card opens the door for many other exciting possibilities....
What is the Smart Card?
The Smart Card will be a permanent event credential. It will display the cardholder's name, photo, and unique Smart Card number all printed over an attractive background design.
In general, "smart cards" look like credit cards, but contain a microchip on which data can be stored. This technology is rapidly gaining popularity around the world due to the card's virtually unlimited potential uses.
Initially, the Smart Card microchip will store a cardholder's name and Smart Card number. The Chip will have sufficient capacity to support new features as they are developed.
How does it work? Features currently under development
Entry, access: For entry to events, you will simply have your card scanned by an electronic card reader. At events where a card reader is unavailable, you will show your photo Smart Card to the ushers or facility personnel.
With the Smart Card, you will have no worries about waiting in long lines, being recognized, or having to be interviewed. At sites such as Amaroo, your card could allow you entry to areas such as the campgrounds or the amphitheater.
Cashless vending: The microchip embedded in the card allows you to make cashless vending purchases, such as buying products from Visions or buying meals and other items. This provides an alliterative to carrying cash, check, credit card, or converting your currency.
Some potential future uses
Event Registration & more: The unique number on your Smart Card can make event registration faster and simpler. Other event related areas like special needs, seating assignments, reservation of translation headsets - even hotel arrangements - could eventually be facilitated with the use of your Smart Card number.
Smart Kiosks: Event attendees will be able to use their Smart Cards at special kiosks (public access computers with monitors) which provide general event information, transfer of funds for cashless vending, and even personal information such as notices of scheduled service meetings.
