Based on the idea from Fredrick Leifhand, an engineering student from Lund University in Sweden comes a new kind of technology that could be the future in terms of payment technology. Leifhand built a palm scanner that recognizes the veins inside the palm and has linked it into a payment system. Users sign up to have their vein recognized and it acts like a bank account, only it isn’t a card you use to pay but your palm. The process will only take 5 seconds and is a more convenient way to pay.
