Amazon sees broad audience for its palm recognition tech

AP September 29, 2020

Amazon has introduced new palm recognition technology in a pair of Seattle stores and sees a broader potential audience in stadiums, offices and other gated or secured locations. 

Customers at the stores near Amazon’s campus in Washington can flash a palm for entry into secured areas and buy goods. 

The company chose palm recognition, according to Dilip Kumar, vice president of Physical Retail & Technology, because it’s more private than other biometric technology, and a person would be required to purposefully flash a palm at the Amazon One device to engage.
