Hand Geometry is a biometric technology that uses the physical characteristics of a person's hand to identify them. It is one of the oldest biometric technologies, having been developed in the 1970s. It is a contact-based technology, meaning that it requires physical contact with the hand in order to capture the data. The data captured includes the size and shape of the hand, as well as the length and width of the fingers. This data is then used to create a unique template for each individual, which can be used for authentication and identification purposes. Hand Geometry is a popular biometric technology due to its ease of use and low cost. It is often used in access control systems, such as those found in offices and other secure areas. It is also used in time and attendance systems, as well as in some banking and retail applications. Some companies in the Hand Geometry market include Bioscrypt, Crossmatch, Fulcrum Biometrics, and Suprema. Show Less Read more
