The latest biometric technology could let workers access buildings with a wave of their hand.
This vascular pattern scanner by Identica uses infrared light to capture the unique pattern of veins and capillaries on the back of a person's hand to verify their identity.
When the back of a hand is pressed against the scanner, as seen here, the scanner measures the light reflected back off it and matches it against an approved pattern.
The technology was on display recently at the launch of the Unisys Security Index.
