Most people like shopping. When you do some shopping, you can pay in cash( 现金). But now it's easy to pay with a mobile phone. You can pay by WeChat or Alipay. You can even pay with your faces. It's very interesting, isn't it? Is that enough? Maybe after a few days, you can pay with your hands.
Amazon is trying its new way of payment—pay by hands. Hands are in different shapes( 形状) and sizes. Your hands are your ID. They are connected to your card. When you pay with your card, it usually takes between three and four seconds. Now Amazon's new way of payment can make it in less than half a second.
They will use a special sensor( 传感器) to identify( 辨认) the human hand. These high-tech sensors are different from fingerprint scanners( 扫 描 仪 ). They won't need users to let their hands touch the surfaces(表面) of the sensors. When you need to pay, you just let your hands near the sensors. Shoppers won't even have to bring their phones. If successful, this technology will cut down the time of payment in supermarkets. But we don't know if the shoppers are interested in it.
