There is a group from Silicon Valley which gave a 17 year-old guy
named Kai Kloepfer $50,000 to carry on his experiments with guns.
The Smart Tech Challenges Foundation which is centered in California’s tech capital, announced that it is sponsoring a young inventor who is from Colorado and is assimilating a biometric sensor into a weapon that demands a certified user’s fingerprint to release, and they also claim that the sensor is 99.99% exact with fingerprint identification even with fractional prints.
Kai Kloepfer is a high school student from Boulder, Colorado and is
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) 2013 Grand
Award winner and he is the first Benefactor of the $1 million Smart
Tech for Firearms Challenge.
The foundation stated in a release that they will be awarding grants to a total of 15 inventors who are working to improve weapon safety by evolving customization features in weapons, locking devices and ammunition systems.
Kai stated:-
“It’s going to be my generation – the ones who have grown up with digital technology and electronic integration – that will lead the way in the development and adoption of smart gun technology.”
“This type of technology has previously only existed in science fiction movies. But young people are open to exploring our options as consumers and as innovators. I have real hope that we can apply biometric technology to firearms in order to reduce accidental deaths and injuries, and to prevent tragedies.”
