OLOID’s Palm authentication ensures secure, rapid credential capture and verification

Here's how the Palm authentication works:

The user hovers their palm over a standard or IR camera.
The system captures either a palm print or vein map, depending on the camera type.
Liveness detection verifies the palm’s authenticity, and credentials are securely validated in under a second.
Enhanced Usability: Palm authentication is touch-free, reducing wear and tear on devices while ensuring a hygienic user experience in environments like healthcare and manufacturing.
