Coming, money transfer via Google Glass!

Darpan News Desk IANS, 06 May, 2014 03:05 PM

With Google Glass eyewear, soon send 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.

If this is true, as reports say internal testings are one, you can make mobile payments from within the Wallet app by simply saying “send money”.

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.

The eyewear device was recently available for one-day online sale. The Glass is set for a debut later this year.
