AccuVien presented us with a working prototype of their fascinating new medical device: a vein finder. Shine it on an arm and it provides an instantaneous, non-contact, real-time image projection of the vein’s location below the skin surface.

Dubbed a “locksmith in a box,” KeyMe introduces an automated key-cutting and digital storage system within a customer-friendly kiosk. By saving a key image using the KeyMe kiosk or integrated app, customers no longer need a physical key to make copies. With a fingerprint and credit card, the system prints a duplicate key or shares the file with a locksmith so users never get locked out again.
