Fujitsu Frontech has announced the release of a new vascular scanner the company is touting as the world’s smallest and slimmest contact-free vein authentication scanner available.
Officials say that the new sensor, which utilizes palm-vein authentication, has a small enough footprint that it could easily be incorporated into laptop computers and other electronic devices for embedded biometric authentication capabilities.
Additionally, the new sensor has improvements in speed and functionality over its predecessors as it can now process 20 frames per second in imaging and pick the best image for authentication.
This, subsequently, enables a user to lightly place his hand in front of the sensor rather than requiring him to remain absolutely motionless for proper authentication. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/thirdfactor-4.gif)
