- A leaked video shows how the feature operates in real life
Curve, the fintech startup that reinvented the card and lets you combine all your cards into one Curve smartcard, has successfully developed the first ever Augmented Reality payment technology. A video shows how the feature operates in real life, and it’s fantastic.
Dubbed “Project X” within Curve office walls, and developed by a discreet engineering team, the technology represents a breakthrough in the real-life use case of Augmented Reality.
The feature is not being released to customers just yet, as at this stage it is a proof of concept. But once released, it surely represents a step-up in payments innovation, towards a seamless checkout experience.
