1. A terminal (1) comprising
a main body (10) having an upper surface (S1) that is substantially horizontal;
a tower (11) extending substantially vertically from said main body (10), so as to define an acquisition volume (V) delimited by said upper surface (S1) and the tower (11);
optical acquisition means (12) arranged within the main body (10) so as to be able to acquire an image of a biometric print placed within the acquisition volume (V) facing the upper surface (S1);
a user interface (13) arranged within the tower (11);
wherein the tower (11) has a cavity (110), and the user interface (13) comprises a screen (130) arranged at the bottom of the cavity (110) and a semi-reflective plate (131) closing the cavity (110) so as to provide the optical illusion that said screen (130) is floating within the acquisition volume (V).
