Visa has announced plans to start a pilot program to trial contactless payments using NFC-enabled sunglasses, of which fifty will be trialled by partners and influencers at the World Surf League’s 2017 Quiksilver and Roxy Pro surfing competition on Australia’s Gold Coast.
The sunglasses contain a contactless chip which allows users to pay by holding them near a Visa NFC-enabled terminal.
