The "LIVETOUCH quattro", the first product of JENETRIC, is the world’s smallest ID flat scanner. It provides fingerprint images of the highest quality and is FBI certified.

"During development we especially had the people in mind, who will use the product. Thanks to the unique user guidance of our ‘LIVETOUCH quattro’ people will be more confident and successful at being identified through fingerprints; they might even enjoy using the device, "says Roberto Wolfer, one of the founders and CEO of JENETRIC GmbH. What makes the LIVETOUCH quattro different from other devices: the fingerprint capture area can also be used to display instructions and provide the user with feedback to quickly assure proper finger placement. All instructions are designed in a way that can be understood by users independent of differences in language, culture or previous knowledge - thus ideally suited for use at airports or borders, where people with different backgrounds are required to identify themselves by fingerprints.

The image sensor of LIVETOUCH quattro uses the optical TFT technology, allowing not only a new user experience, but also the future mobile use as well as scanning of documents.
