Lightweight and designed to fit a handgun, the Artemis Gun Case is crafted from polycarbonate plastic and is designed to only open when the registered fingerprint of the owner is placed on the scanner. Currently available for pre-order for $79, the Artemis Gun Case is being developed by Jones and students at Brigham Young University, with hopes of launching an Indiegogo campaign in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Biometric Firearm Safes:** The use of biometric technology in firearm safes to prevent unintended access and accidents. - **Child Safety:** Increased focus on developing products and solutions to prevent children from accessing firearms. - **Personalized Security:** The application of biometric technology to create personalized security solutions for firearms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Firearms and Safety:** Opportunity for firearm manufacturers to incorporate biometric technology into their product offerings for enhanced safety measures. - **Home Security:** Potential for the development of advanced biometric safes to secure firearms in residential spaces. - **Technology and Innovation:** Opportunity for biometric technology companies to develop and market innovative solutions for firearm safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biometric Smart Guns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-smart-guns.md) - [Biometric Bank-Grade Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/securam-touch.md) - [Connected Key-Free Personal Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-biometric-personal-safe.md) - [Biometric Aluminum Micro Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trova-go-plus.md) - [Fingerprint-Locked Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baricade.md) - [High-Tech Residential Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-security-system.md) - [Fingerprint-Scanning Door Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-lock-bolt.md) - [Biometric Scanner Smart Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockly-flex-touch.md) - [Biometric Security Crypto Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auroom-crypto-wallet.md)
