Digital Wallets That Can Stay in Pockets

Google is testing digital wallets that can stay in pockets. Google product manager Pali Bhat describes the new way pay without having to even take smartphones out of their pockets using verification by facial recognition. “Imagine if you could rush through a drive-thru without reaching for your wallet, or pick up a hot dog at the ballpark without fumbling to pass coins or your credit card to the cashier,” Bhat said. “When you’re ready to pay, you can simply tell the cashier, ‘I’ll pay with Google.’ The cashier will ask for your initials and use the picture you added to your Hands Free profile to confirm your identity.” Using Hands Free digital wallets, people could pay without even pausing.
