Amazon is introducing new state-of-the-art palm-scanning technology at its Amazon Go stores, enabling customers to pay, present loyalty cards and enter locations with their hands.
The retail giant has launched Amazon One, a new palm scanning system which uses “custom-built algorithms and hardware” to create a user’s unique palm signature.
Starting today customers can sign up for Amazon One in less than a minute, and use it to gain entry to two Amazon Go stores in Seattle by hovering their hand above the device for “about a second”.
