March 6, 2011 No Comment
Well, here’s a bold step forward for NFC — payment solution provider Verifone says its new batch of point-of-sale terminals will come standard with the touch-to-pay wireless technology. That’s the word from Near Field Communications World , who quizzed the company just a few days after CEO Douglas Bergeron called on the payments industry to foot the NFC bill, saying “The retail point of sale represents a point of convergence for smartphone-initiated payments, social networking and electronic couponing, but it won’t happen if retailers are expected, on faith, to absorb the costs of making it work.” Sounds like a company that’s very keen on letting us pay by swiping our phone.

Uncannily realistic telepresence humanoids aren’t just for the Japanese — this week, it was revealed that Denmark is home to a brand-new Geminoid — the Geminoid DK. Modeled after professor Henrik Scharfe at Aalborg University, this Geminoid-F derivative was constructed by Kokoro and ATR, the very same organizations that built the last few we’ve seen.
