Use your eGo to open doors and turn on cars

A team at the Cork Institute of Technology’s Nimbus research centre has successfully completed a trial on a new wearable technology which uses a person’s skin through touch to open doors, log on to computers, and turn on phones and even cars.

The wearable eGo device, which is activated with your fingerprint, can take the form of a clip-on device attached to your clothing. It can even be embedded in a watch, a ring, or even your glasses.
