In a boon to virtual workers everywhere, The King Jim Corporation of Japan has developed the ‘Clock On’ clock that displays the time as a QR Code. While sitting there in your virtual home-office with your barcode-reading cell phone, you start your shift by punching-in ( Ã la timeclock fashion) by scanning the QR code and xmitting it to your manager. I guess it beats having an implanted RFID device or something…
And in what may be a 1st, Omron has developed software for cell phones that supports biometric face recognition. …Some competition for those boring password and fingerprint based systems. Hmm … nobody seems to be working on cell phone biometrics based on skin, hand, voice or iris recog … wonder if there are any business opps there?

Hand recognition would probably be the easiest means of logging in. As soon as you pick up your phone, you’re in!
i’m sure there are plenty of business opps for skin, hand and voice recog…i’m not so sure about iris recog, though.
