Wearables design concept – Budgeteer

Visa Europe teamed up with world-renowned art and design institution, Central Saint Martins, and challenged five of its top design students to explore the future of wearable payments. The young designers, who are all either students or graduates of the MA Industrial Design course at the London-based university, were asked to imagine the form and functionality of contactless wearable devices by 2020. The project culminated in the presentation of three design concepts at the annual Visa Europe Technology Partner Forum in London on Wednesday 23rd September.

This is the concept video for ‘Budgeteer’. Budgeteer is a wearable payment device placed on the wrist that helps the user to organise and budget their expenses at the point of sale, simply by movement.

By making three intuitive and simple hand gestures, the user can categorise payments into three categories (work, me or home), which will be highlighted in different colours in their online banking statement. The aesthetics of the device are built around the visible electronics; the mechanisms of the device are where the beauty lies.
