Once you have created your account in World App, you have the option to verify your World ID that lives locally on your phone at an Orb. Having a verified World ID can enable additional use cases that require proof of human assurance. You can still use an unverified World ID for some purposes even if you do not visit an Orb.
In other words, to take part in World Network, you are not required to visit an Orb. If you choose to verify your World ID at an Orb, you can go to World App to find an Orb and complete your verification. The Orb will take images of your face and eyes to generate a unique iris fragment. These images are encrypted and downloaded to your phone prior to their deletion from the Orb.
All that remains are persistently encrypted shards of iris fragments that are not linked to an individual’s wallet or World App account. Read more about this process, called Anonymized Multi-Party Computation(AMPC), in the blog post.
The World ID sign up process is only intended and conducted to verify you are a unique human (i.e. that you have not previously verified a World ID and that you are human. It is not intended to verify who you are (i.e. your identity).
