Google’s
virtual wallet, Google Wallet, was announced a few years back. Above is a video
demonstrating how Google Wallet can be utilized to simplify your life.
Google Wallet is a mobile application for smartphones that allows you to store
everything that you put in your wallet onto your phone (i.e. credit cards,
debit card, gift cards, etc.) and pay with a simple scan of your phone. All
your information is stored securely in the cloud.
The
engineers at Google are always looking for ways to enhance their products and
that goes for Google Wallet as well. Recently, Google incorporated PayPal as an option for
purchases in 12 countries including the United States, Germany, Canada, etc.
They are also working on integrating Google Wallet with Google Glass. “Imagine you’re at a restaurant and you want to send
your share of the bill to a friend. You simply ask Glass to ‘send money,’ swipe
through the interface a few times and you’re done" (Google Wallet is Coming to Glass).
Google
Wallet provides an interactive, new-aged experience for digital
payments. A Virtual Agent can streamline virtual transactions and aid in the management
of your wallet as well. For example, a Virtual Agent can let you know the balance of
your debit cards, or remind you when a bill is due. What if your virtual butler could work with your virtual
wallet? What would be the process leading up to your purchase? Would you ask
the butler for directions to your favorite retailer, use it to scan the box for
advice, and then access your wallet to pay?
