Smart Gun

The Smart Gun or "Personalised Gun" is a concept gun that aims to reduce the misuse of guns by children/felons through the use of embedded "smart" chips. Currently in prototype, the gun relies on biometric sensors in the grip and trigger that can track a gun owner?s hand size and strength. The gun is programmed to recognize only the owner or anyone whom the owner wishes to authorize. One of the major projects involves the New Jersey Institute of Technology team, which claims the prototype identifies gun owners with 90% accuracy.
