Many technologies related to the hand are proposed. I tried to sort them:
- Shape:
- Geometry the oldest: reading the shape of the hand and fingers
- Vein vein shape of the hand
- Pressure:
- Electrical impedance:
- Gesture:
- Keystroke: how you type on a keyboard (for instance your password)
- Tapping: the way you type (like Morse code)
- Mouse: how you move your mouse
- Others: remote control, smartphone-swipe, shiver/Neuro-Fingerp Print
- Signature, a specific kind of gesture:
- Signature: how you write/sign your name
- Sound: the sound you are making when signing
- Graphic: graphic password
