Recently there has been a new add-on to the family of mobile payment wearables: Sunglasses. Now apart from using cell phones and smartwatches, user can use their glasses to make payment.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative known as WaveShades is a new contactless payment system built into sunglasses, born from a partnership between Australian startup Inamo, sunglasses-maker Local Supply and Visa. The prototype is rolled out ahead of St. Jerome\u2019s Laneway Music Festival and handed out to goers to make their contactless payment.<\/p>\n<p>I feel the idea here is to present a use case where user (specially millennials who frequently attend such festivals) only need to worry about keeping track of one thing, which is almost always right in front of their eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The payment procedure is similar to other wearables, where there is a NFC chip in one arm of the glasses. The user just need to wave his glasses in front of terminal to make the payment.<\/p>\n<p>The ever growing mobile payment family continues to see new innovations like these more frequently than ever. This definitely opens up the possibility of contactless payment being a dominant industry of its own in payment segment making traditional payment methods obsolete in near future.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shades3-625x625.jpg\" alt=\"lnamo secure payment chip\" width=\"625\" height=\"625\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">lnamo secure payment chip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>references: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/get-smart-with-waveshades-tap-to-pay-sunglasses-1687654\/\">http:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/get-smart-with-waveshades-tap-to-pay-sunglasses-1687654\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/waveshades-contactless-payment-sunglasses-laneway\/\">https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/waveshades-contactless-payment-sunglasses-laneway\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile payment began with smartphones followed by smartwatch and similar wearable bands.
