Hand geometry is currently the among the most widely used biometric technologies, most suitable for access control and time and attendance applications. As opposed to more exotic biometric technologies, whose implementations may be quite few and far between, hand
geometry is used reliably at thousands of places of employment, universities, apartment buildings, and airports - anyplace requiring reasonably accurate, non-intrusive authentication. The nature of
hand geomtery technology is such that most projects are fairly small-scale and involve only a handful of readers, but there are some projects which incorporate dozens of readers.
