Wocket is the world’s first, Smart Wallet. Wocket turns thousands of cards into just one WocketCard and the best part is, it uses biometric voice security to keep all your information protected.
The Wocket is claimed to be “smaller than a typical wallet,” and can also be used to carry cash via an added accessory. Power is supplied by a coin cell battery.
Users start by swiping all of their stripe cards into the Wocket, which records the pertinent data and stores it in its onboard memory. Other types of cards, such as those utilizing barcodes, can be scanned in. Up to 10,000 cards can be stored on one device, then squirreled away someplace safe in the user’s home.
Cards with a magnetic stripe will require you to swipe each one into the Wocket to have i stash the information, and if you have other kinds of cards without magnetic stripes, ala voter registration or insurance cards, then key in the information manually via the Wocket’s touchscreen.
Purchasing something just requires you to swipe the Wocket Card, and it is done. Should your Wocket fall prey to a theft, fret not, it will be secured with a tamper-proof chip that is biometrically locked to you, so no data within can be accessed without your express permission. Right now, Wocket does not support chip and PIN technology, meaning it is more suitable for North America than anywhere else. Tipping the scales at 4 ounces, it arrives in a shade of Midnight Black with more color options to be made available in due time. The asking price for the Wocket stands at $179 a piece.
