This marks the first convergence of biometric vein scanning with invisible product marking, creating a dual-use system that can simultaneously identify both humans and objects. The integration with planned AR contact lenses represents an unprecedented capability for continuous environmental scanning - a technological leap beyond current digital ID systems that require deliberate scanning actions.
MIT-Adobe Unveil Invisible Digital ID Tech Using Palm Vein Scanning
📰 What Happened
Researchers from MIT, Adobe, and UC3M have developed VeinGoOne, a groundbreaking system combining palm vein biometrics with invisible infrared ink technology. Led by Raúl García Martín, the system uses a USB-C camera to analyze blood vessels and embed invisible digital information in printed materials. The patent-pending technology aims to enable augmented reality interfaces through specialized glasses or contact lenses that can continuously scan and interpret encoded data in everyday objects.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The VeinGoOne system breaks new ground by merging human biometric identification (palm veins) with universal product marking (Imprinto technology) into a single ecosystem. This unprecedented integration, combined with UC3M's development of AR contact lenses for constant scanning, creates the first truly seamless system for universal identification of both people and products. Revelation 13's warning about marking and tracking takes on new meaning as this technology eliminates the distinction between human and product identification systems. The infrared capabilities enable invisible yet mandatory participation, fulfilling the prophecy's emphasis on universal compliance.
