We only see biometric fingerprint scanners in mobile here and there, but this new one from Sonavation called the SonicSlide STS3000 is apparently the thinnest of them all. This sucker actually uses ultrasound to scan, which apparently cuts down on interference traditionally plaguing semiconductor-based fingerprint scanners. Some of the technical specs include:
- Industry Leading Accuracy
- 500 DPI
- Finger Image Capture: 20 cm/sec
- Low Power Consumption
- Highly Durable (>10M rubs)
- Image Zone: 9.6mm x 0.4mm
- Advanced COF Module: 35mm x 17mm x 1.15mm
- Interface: SPI, 8-bit parallel bus
- Operating Temperature Range: -30 to +85 C
- Supported Mobile Operating Systems: Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android
Although Windows Mobile, Android and Symbian are the only supported platforms, I’m curious why these guys have a BlackBerry on their front page…
