🔗 This Philips door lock turns your palm into a key - The Verge // Emma Roth

Philips created a new smart lock that doesn’t require a key or a code — all you need is your hand. The company showed off its new $359.99 Wi-Fi Palm Recognition Smart Deadbolt during CES 2024, which comes with a built-in palm scanner that unlocks your door when it detects your unique palm print.

Interesting…but not a super helpful feature for places like here where we wear gloves outdoors for like 5 months of the year.

@jarrod Same for this wild-looking lock! I wonder how it does with scarves and winter hats.

> The $349 Lockly Visage smart lock with facial recognition can replace your standard deadbolt and turn your doorway into a high-tech haven. Just approach, and the door will unlock.

@jarrod Luckily I think both locks also have Apple Home Key support among other entry options, so this is tongue-in-cheek. It looks like 2024 is going to be a good year to get in on a smart lock. I’ve been patiently waiting!
