HCE is an end run around cellphone carriers excessively controlling the SE (secure element) portion of NFC, effectively locking out competitors in the contactless mobile payments space. But now Visa/MasterCard have announced HCE support for cloud storage of credit cards, effectively breaking the carrier stranglehold and opening the way for more Google Wallet like services..

Uses a mixed optical system to grab fingerprints and finger vein data and fuses the sensor data for the biometric match (which could be argued actually reduces the matching accuracy).

KSI keyboards are Programmable, with Biometric reader. POS , Smart Card, RFID, Wireles and Custom Keyboards

SonarLoc is a keyboard with a sonar sensor, HID proximity card reader, and a fingerprint reader. Basically, if the host computer software and the sonar determine the user has moved away from teh keyboard, it locks the workstation and forces you to log back in, either via traditional username/password, a HID/iClass/Mifare proximity RFID access card, or a fingerprint.

iCarte™ - The Ultimate NFC/RFID Reader for iPhone

Apparently Visa Europe is trialing the iCarte for wireless payment via an onboard app for contactless payment without the physical RFID embedded VIA card apparently. Which is likely a throwaway trial for general system testing, as the next iPhone is rumored to have NFC/RFID builtin, not requiring this dongle. It's a shame that domestic japanese RFID/NFC payment platforms don't support this dongle, but they too may be in a waiting pattern for the next iPhone as well.

Samsung OLED RFID display

Damn it, there goes another patent I was preparing. Interesting potential alternative to holograms for authenticity checks. Using the reader's emitted power for the display is a good trick that keeps the size down.
