What if you could pay for your groceries using your veins?
While fingerprint scanners have been around for years, Amazon hopes to innovate by developing a personal identification system that you don't have to touch.
"Accurate and fast identification of a user provides useful information that may be used in a variety of ways," Amazon says in the patent filing."For example, entry to a material handling facility , office, transportation facility, or other location may be controlled based on user identity." Biometric identification systems address this by using characteristics that are"difficult or impossible to copy or be transferred." It's unclear how far into the project Amazon is. It's also unclear if or when customers would see such technology rolled out.
