I am sure that you all have heard about the “Vein pattern recognition” ,a new biometric method (known within Sony as mofiria) allowing access to sensitive data or devices that instead of reading your fingerprints will in fact read your hands or finger vein patterns to whether or not grant you access to your device or data.

And today, Sony announced the world’s smallest and lightest USB Finger vein reader named FVA-U1. It is scheduled to be sold within Japan from December 18. The FVA-U1 has a weight of 33g and a size of 70×14.5×58mm only.
