The Finger Scanner Increases Efficiency at and Before the Checkout Counter

It seems to be that designer Seokmin Kang intends the Finger Scanner to be used by customers and cashiers alike. This innovative device is a compact barcode reader that can be used to clarify product prices, and to ring in items upon their purchase.

The sleek piece of technology slips easily onto a person's fingertip and is free of any bulk. It combines a sensor that can scan tags and labels in just two seconds, as well as a digital display panel to show the cost. It's easy to carry and put on when you're shopping, and the Finger Scanner can be conveniently used with your hands full. Just shift your hand over the sticker and the information will register.
