New state-of-the-art security solution for banknotes: Nanoswitch®
Humans’ senses have always been the elementary tools for our perception of reality. The more senses we involve, the more intense the perception. Nanoswitch®* addresses the two most distinctive ones – sight and touch – combining color with a 3D object. The visual attraction of the transforming 3D-color object together with the unexpected haptic experience gives Nanoswitch® unique authentication properties.
