Abstract
The present invention relates to a terminal comprising a main body having an upper surface that is substantially horizontal; a tower extending substantially vertically from said main body, so as to define an acquisition volume delimited by said upper surface and the tower; optical acquisition means arranged within the main body so as to be able to acquire an image of a biometric print placed within the acquisition volume facing the upper surface; a user interface arranged within the tower; wherein the tower has a cavity, and the user interface comprises a screen arranged at the bottom of the cavity and a semi-reflective plate closing the cavity so as to provide the optical illusion that said screen is floating within the acquisition volume. The present invention further relates to a method for acquiring an image of a biometric print by means of the terminal.
