Home Projects Pain in the Periphery Pain in the Periphery Dr. Tristen Shone's Projects Sunday, 23 October 2005 Automated finger scanning/cutting mechanism. Connects to your USB port on your computer as a daily reminder of your painful life. This device scans your fingers, similar to the new fingerprinting devices. Using image analysis software, the device looks for cuts in your flesh. If there is a cut on your finger, nothing happens. If the cut has healed, a small razorblade will quickly slice you just below the skin. As a peripheral device for the home or the office, connecting to your PC or laptop via a firewire or USB port, this compact mechanism acts as a daily reminder of your painful existence.
