Palm vein ID now, what next?
In the movie “Minority Report” the year is 2054 and you don’t have to buy train or bus tickets anymore because identification is done through eye scanning. If your eyes match what the system has on record for you, you’re in.
Guess what, we’re not so far away from that scenario!
Fujitsu’s ‘PalmSecure’ reads your hand vein pattern and confirms whether you are in fact, you. This way, if you were in a hurry to get to work, you can walk into your secure office door or log onto to your laptop in no time at all. The technology is quick, very accurate and already being used by governments, private and public sector enterprises.
I’ve been using the inbuilt fingerprint sensor to log on to my work laptop for over two years now. But its kind of annoying. When I move my finger across it at a particular angle and past a certain speed, or if my finger is slightly damp, it won’t work.
PalmSecure sounds like its the next level of convenience, and has a lot more applications. Either ways, I’m glad we’re moving away from having to remember any more passwords!
What’s exciting to think about is where this technology will be in 42 years i.e in the year 2050. Who knows, maybe we won’t even need recognition anymore.
