BEIJING: Chinese internet and tech giant Tencent has launched a palm-recognition service for its WeChat Pay service here that allows Metro passengers to pay via waving their palm over a scanner, the media reported on Monday.
“Recognition of a unique palm print triggers an automatic payment through the user’s WeChat account, ” the report said. The technology relies on recognition of both surface-level palm prints and the hand’s veins, according to Tencent.
