Recently, we heard about the primary school in Scotland that is using Fujitsu palm vein scanners for a cashless lunch payment system.

Now, Hitachi has joined forces with Sumitomo Reality & Development Co. to bring us a new finger vein scanning security system. The scanner can remember up to 10 different fingers, and the lithium batteries will last about 1 year at a rate of 10 uses per day.

Plastic Bamboo tells us the device will be available in Spring at a cost of ¥150,000 ($1,280 USD). This device is more affordable and looks like it could be integrated into an existing door of your home.
