Today Fujitsu announced the latest biometric USB peripheral that is being called the world’s first palm vein scanning mouse. The technology is designed so that it authenticates a user when they lay their palm on top of the reader. The reader is tolerant to the angle the hand is held at when scanning to help improve accuracy.The mouse is available in black, gray and white to match different computer systems. Measurements for the mouse are 63mm W x 120mm D x 39mm H and it weighs about 160g. Those not wanting to use a mouse with palm vein authentication built-in can opt for a standalone palm vein authentication kit. No pricing information has been announced, but the vein-reading mouse is expected to be available in October.
