Amazon Wants You To Pay With Your Palm

The power of your palm is one way to unlock the world. 

The Amazon One system reads your hand to allow you to pay for your purchases without cash, a card, transfers, or even a cell phone. Simple hover to enter, identify and pay. 

Amazon is constantly looking for new ways to improve its customer experience. Also, the in-store shopping experience is one area where we’ve invested time in innovation. Amazon one, a new innovation, is being introduced by Amazon’s physical retail team. It is a fast, convenient, and contactless way for people to use their palms to simplify everyday tasks. Like shopping, entering a stadium, and badging into work. The service is designed to be extremely secure. As it creates a person’s unique palm signature using custom-built algorithms and hardware.
