Biometric Technology At The Gym
Posted on Feb 22, 08 07:14 AM PDT
Hitachi's finger vein authentication technology is now being ported over to the gym, courtesy of IT company Fukui Computer who has developed a new range of networked exercise machines known as "medimo". Each of these come with Hitachi's finger vein reader, where users will be able to identify themselves with a simple press of the finger. The machine will subsequently analyze such data and then adjust the weight resistance and seat position automatically after referring to the user's previous set of preferences. Each "medimo" machine will retail for approximately $17,000 each - I wonder how many user profiles this machine is able to store before it runs out of memory.
