| Amazon One is available at most Amazon Go stores |
Last September, Amazon introduced the Amazon One contactless payment system, which allows you to read the palm of your hand to verify purchases in Amazon stores.
The technology appears to be working fine, so the company has decided to at least expand it to its Seattle headquarters.
Amazon One palm detection technology will soon be rolling out to Madison and Minor Amazon Go sites, and rolling out to two more sites in the coming weeks.
Amazon said: It has good customer reviews about the Amazon One system's viability and it's called contactless feature which is much healthier than other systems.
Since a person's identity cannot be directly linked to their fingerprints, it is clear that they place more emphasis on privacy.
Thanks to this technology, there is no longer any need to pay for cameras, smartphones, and other security measures in Amazon Go stores without a cashier.
Amazon palm discovery technology could reach outside sellers and expand to other physical Amazon stores in the future.
Currently, the technology can be used on six 4-star Amazon Go, Amazon Go Grocery, Amazon Books and Amazon sites. This technology will be rolling out to two other Amazon Go stores in the coming weeks.
This technology creates palm features by combining palm surface details (such as lines) with vein patterns so your palm can recognize you.
Although many companies have tried to use biometrics technology for palm recognition, Amazon's robust retail activity over the years can help achieve palm signatures.
This technology uses image scanners along with computer vision algorithms to capture and encode palm images.
You do not need an Amazon account to use the service. All you need is a phone number and a credit card.
If users no longer wish to use the service, they can delete their biometric data from the company's online portal.
Amazon registered a patent for its palm tree detection technology in late 2019 and has been in service for many years.
