Fujitsu Palm Vein scanner
![]() |
This is one item that will have people talking. It's a palm reader. Mostly used for security and privacy, this small device can read your palm without being touched. I feel that being able to mimic someone's palm or get around this verification system is much to simple and might not go very far in the real world. "Fujitsu has launched a "Palm Vein" scanner which can identify people without any direct contact. The company speculates that the scanner could be used by bank customers to withdraw funds from cash points with a single hand gesture. The device uses infrared light to scan the palm vein, creating a map of individuals' hands to check the unique vein layout to identify users. Data about your hand layout can be stored on a computer or on a bank card." [via bbcnews] |
