A couple of places have reported on this:

An idea from some folks at MIT apparently where a physical token
consisting of a bunch of spheres embedded in epoxy is used as an
access device by shining a laser through it.

On the surface, this seems as silly as biometric authentication -- you
can simply forge what the sensor is expecting even if you can't forge
the token. Does anyone know any details about it?
