Its new Amazon One scanner records an image of the user’s palm, allowing them to pay by hovering their hand in the air “for about a second or so,” he says.
The product will be tested at two of Amazon’s physical stores in Seattle.

Boren Ave. North. It takes less than a minute to sign up at these Amazon Go stores using an Amazon One device. The first step is to insert your credit card. Next, hover your palm over the device and follow the prompts to associate that card with the unique palm signature being built for you by our computer vision technology in real time. You’ll have the option to enroll with just one palm or both. And that’s it—you’re now signed up. Once you’re enrolled, to use Amazon One to enter these Amazon Go stores, you’ll just hold your palm above the Amazon One device at entry for about a second or so, and be on your way. It’s that simple.
Beyond Amazon Go, company expect to add Amazon One as an option in additional Amazon stores in the coming months. And, they believe Amazon One has broad applicability beyond Amazon retail stores, so they also plan to offer the service to third parties like retailers, stadiums, and office buildings so that more people can benefit from this ease and convenience in more places.
