"US-Based Company Debuts 'World's First Smart Gun' With Fingerprint Unlocking System"

A US-based technology company has developed the first biometric smart gun. Biofire Technologies announced the handgun that is fingerprint and 3D infrared facial recognition-secured. It functions under various conditions, including when the user is wearing gloves or a face mask. For gun owners concerned about privacy, the gun uses biometric information that never leaves the firearm, which lacks onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Furthermore, integrated IR sensors in the grip keep the firearm armed while an authorized user is holding the gun, eliminating the need to continuously authenticate their biometrics. This article continues to discuss the biometric smart gun and how it addresses the privacy of users.
