Forget Signatures, Just Scan Your Fingerprint
April 6th, 2006
A company known as SmartMetric ordered a press release today announcing the development of what they tout as the first ‘affordable’ fingerprint scanner for credit cards and similar sized IDs. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of such tech, but if they can hold up to the ‘affordable’ aspect, it may not be too long before we place our thumb instead of our John Hancock to make a purchase. Could also be applied to other fields of use such as identity and access cards via RF communication.

My local Jewel supermarket has been using fingerprint scanners at the checkout for the last month or so. Seems to work ok. The future is now…
