Identifying users by the blood vessels in their palms, rather than fingerprints, irises, or other methods. This new technology is currently being tested in Japan at a library. The aforementioned biometric technique will eliminate the need for library cards.

Palm Vein Recognition System |
Fujitsu, a Japanese company, announced that a public library in Naka City is the first to implement this new technology.
This technology boasts high accuracy because the patterns of blood vessels in the palm are incredibly complex. It is very difficult to replicate these patterns as they are located inside the body.
Additionally, this system does not require physical contact between the hand and the scanning device, thus ensuring hygiene in public places.
Users can borrow books from the library without needing a card.
They simply need to hold their hand over the recognition device. The device will compare the patterns of blood vessels in their palm with the registered patterns stored in the system.
Fujitsu states that this technology could be utilized in various locations, including banks, government buildings, hospitals, and workplaces.
