“#Whole Foods will soon let customers pay with palm scan<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Whole Foods will soon let customers pay for groceries using its parent company\u2019s palm-scanning technology<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Amazon said Wednesday its palm-scanning system \u2014 currently used in about a dozen of its brick and mortar stores \u2014 will debut at a Whole Foods in Seattle\u2019s Capitol Hill neighborhood, the first of many planned rollouts at other locations.<\/p>\n

The system uses Amazon One technology, which employs high-tech imaging and algorithms to create and detect a \u201cunique palm signature\u201d based on the ridges, lines and veins in each person\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

Its high-tech sensors don\u2019t require users to touch the scanning surface, like App<\/a>le\u2019s fingerprint technology does.<\/p>\n

Instead, palm-reading tech\u00a0uses computer vision and depth geometry to process and identify the shape and size of each hand they scan before charging a credit card on file.<\/p>\n

The company said that the palm-scanning tech will be offered as just one of many payment options at participating Whole Foods Stores and that it won\u2019t impact store employees\u2019 job responsibilities. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt Whole Foods Market, we\u2019re always looking for new and innovative ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers,\u201d said Arun Rajan, senior vice president of technology and chief technology officer at Whole Foods Market.<\/p>\n

Palm images used by Amazon One are encrypted and stored in a \u201chighly secure\u201d cloud, and customers can request to have their palm data deleted. <\/p>\n

The company claims palm-scanning tech is more private than other biometric alternatives, such as facial recognition.<\/p>\n

Amazon One builds on the \u201cJust Walk Out\u201d technology that Amazon uses in its Go stores, which detects the items shoppers pick up and charges them once they leave \u2014 without the need for a checkout line<\/p>\n

Amazon is also planning to expand the cashier-less technology to Whole Foods, as reported by The Post.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the tech could be good for its bottom line. The online behemoth aims to sell its palm-scanning tech to other companies like retailers, stadiums and office buildings. <\/p>\n

Last September, it said it was in \u201cactive discussions with several potential customers.\u201d But it is unclear if it has progressed on any of those fronts.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
