ANSWER: Hands
 
First 3-D life-size model of hand!An Indian American researcher and his team have created life-size 3D hand models complete with fingerprints, using a high resolution 3D printer that can create the same ridges and valleys as a real finger
  • Much like any optical device, fingerprint and hand scanners need to be calibrated, but currently there is no standard model for doing so
  • This marks the first time a whole hand 3D target has been created to calibrate fingerprint scanners, according to professor Anil Jain from MSU
  • The team was studying how to test and calibrate finger print scanners used across the globe at police departments, airport immigration counters, banks and amusement parks
  • For testing the scanners, life size 3D hand models were created along with 5 fingerprints
  • The study aimed to design and develop standard models and procedures for consistent and reliable evaluation of fingerprint readers funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
