The Futronic has launches a new fingerprint scanner that is capable of distinguishing live human fingers from dead and fake fingers, which is pretty damn morbid. The FS88 fingerprint reader comes with an LED-illuminated scanning window made from glass that is 14mm thick. Measuring 2.6inch x 2.6inch x 1.15inch and weighing 5.3 ounces, the device features sensor resolution of 480 x 320 pixels, and 16KB of internal memory. What makes this biometric device cool is that it is is resistant to scratches or breakage and is able to detect fake fingers. There is no word on pricing so far. [WFD]
