Buttocks are the new way to prove who you are.<\/p>\n<p>A team of Japanese scientists claim their pressure sensor sheet can accurately identify an individual&#8217;s backside and when placed on a driver&#8217;s seat could be used as a last line of defence to stop someone else driving away your motor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sheet has 360 sensors, which collect data for 39 features to recognise a person, such as pressure patterns and the dimensions of the buttocks,&#8221; said Dr. Shigeomi Koshimizu, who led the research.<\/p>\n<p>Koshimizu, an associate professor at Tokyo-based Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, said his device is 98 percent accurate and far less onerous than conventional biometrics as it requires nothing more than someone to sit naturally.<\/p>\n<p>But, he added, there are still a few hurdles to clear before the technology makes it to market.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The recognition tends to be compromised by different clothes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Sensors read different signals from a pair of trousers and a pair of jeans.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Put your fingerprint scanners away.
