A wallet on your eye: Google testing Wallet app for Glass

The applications with a wearable like Google Glass are practically endless and now Google itself may be arming it with one of the more important apps in today’s mobile-driven climate.   With Google Glass you could soon be sending money to your friends and relatives in a jiffy. You just need a few gestures and a voice command. According to the TechCrunch website, Google is planning to debut Google Wallet on Google Glass, as per an IANS report.   According to the original report, this is currently at an internal testing stage and you can make mobile payments from within the Wallet app by simply saying “send money”. Needless to say, you will have to activate the Glass with the same account that you use for your Wallet payments.   Google would charge a 2.9 percent fee for the transactions, the website added. Google has worked to revamp Wallet over the past couple of years, and it’s currently the easiest way to make payments on the Android platform, whether it be for Play Store purchases or in-app transactions.   Glass is set for a debut later this year, with Google selling it in a retail capacity already. Currently, Glass is available for $1,500, though the final retail version will sell for a lot less, it’s speculated.   With inputs from IANS
