Amazon is one step closer to implementing its creepy, futuristic flesh-and-blood payment system.
The e-tailing giant’s engineers on Thursday filed a patent application for a device that can scan a human hand — without ever touching it — as a way to ring up a store purchase.
As The Post exclusively reported in September, the device is being developed by Amazon engineers under the code name “Orville” for a future rollout at the Amazon-owned Whole Foods supermarket chain.
Employees at Amazon’s New York offices have been serving as guinea pigs for the biometric technology, using it at a handful of vending machines to buy such items as sodas, chips, granola bars and phone chargers, according to sources briefed on the plans.
Recode first reported the news of Amazon’s Thursday patent filing, which says the device will identify users by surface characteristics of the palm such as wrinkles, as well as deeper features like veins.

I’m sure someone will invent a way to copy a handprint onto a glove.

For all of the “mark of the beast” worry-warts...
If you’ve already succumbed to the lockstep conformity consensus model of “truth”, ringing up granola bars should be the least of your concerns.

Do not use body parts for credentials. If a thief chops off someone’s hand to go shopping it’s pretty hard to get a replacement ID.

Doesn’t seem all that different from years back when people recognized each other simply by looking at their faces.
