Fujitsu’s vein sensor is the world’s smallest and slimmest.
Technology to make biometric security useful is already in place. Manufacturers are making biometric security more efficient, and usable. Fujitsu has created the world’s smallest and slimmest vein sensor. The vein sensor recognizes the veins on the palm of a person’s hand, unlike a fingerprint sensor that reads a user’s finger prints in order to verify a person’s identit. The user just has to hold their palm lightly over the sensor in order to use it. The user doesn’t even have to touch the sensor, eliminating any hygienic issues.
