To be clear, what I was saying was:
- It would be really cool if we could show a finger print on screen when
the user scans their finger
- The fingerprint wouldn't have to be the user's fingerprint, just as
long as it looked like a fingerprint and looked different than other
people's fingerprints
I don't know what fingerprint scanners store (actual image data, or just
enough information to identify the print or what). Even if we don't
have a full image to show, we could potentially just perturb a fake
fingerprint seeded by whatever data we do have.
Having said that, I think some scanners do give image data. David
pointed me to this post he made a long time ago:
