Japan Pioneers Biometrics of the Bottom
Biometrics for security such as iris recognition is becoming more commonplace.
The newest variation has been created by Japanese researchers -- a car seat that identifies you by the impression left by your bottom.
From PhysOrg:
They say that traditional biometric techniques such as iris scanners and fingerprint readers cause stress to people undergoing identity checks, while the simple act of getting seated carries less psychological baggage. Their other point is that other technologies such as fingerprint scanning can be compromised when sensor surfaces are unclean, or when there is poor lighting as in iris scanning, contaminating results.
