Bionym has recently launched Nymi, a wearable authentication device that uses your unique heartbeat to unlock your identity. Created in collaboration with Carbon, Nymi enables authentication through an embedded electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor.
When the Nymi recognizes your personal ECG, it communicates your identity to your devices. The activated Nymi can be used to access to all registered devices, completely bypassing passwords and PINs for seamless and secure access.
Not only is your ECG entirely unique, but the technology alone is also unlike anything currently on the market. Simple, task-specific gesture commands allow for a dynamic interactive experience between the user and the technology that surrounds their daily life. Both motion sensing and proximity detection work simultaneously to enhance technological experiences.
