Coming soon: Pay or clock in at work with the palm of your hand


The Amazon Go chain of stores is equipped with machines capable of identifying customers by scanning the palm of their hand. — AFP Relaxnews

In addition to the voice, face, iris or fingerprint, the palm of the hand can also be used for biometric identification. Reliable and secure, palm print recognition is already being tried and tested in the US and China, currently in supermarkets, and soon at the office or in airports.

Palm print recognition technology is a major advance in biometric authentication. One of the pioneers in this field is Amazon, with its One technology, which enables users to identify themselves to access a venue or pay for groceries in-store, simply by passing the palm of their hand over a dedicated reader. In certain situations, the palm scan can replace the use of a bank card or digital wallet.
