Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, an electronic device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The electronic device may then determine locations of the portion of the user relative to the electronic device. Based on the locations, the electronic device may cause a visual indicator to provide instructions to the user for placing the portion of the user at a target location relative to the electronic device. For example, the visual indicator may emit light indicating that the portion of the user is off-centered, angled, too low, and/or too high. After providing the instructions and determining that the portion of the user is at the target location, the electronic device may capture at least an image of the portion of the user and use the image to identify an account.
