创业公司Eaze发布了其创新产品，为可穿戴技术设计的比特币支付应用程序开始公测。
点头收费是专为谷歌眼镜设计，早期的公测版可直接从开发商那里下载。
该应用程序目前支持Blockchain和Coinbase钱包，Eaze说，将来计划支持其他钱包。
OK眼镜，进行付款
由于谷歌眼镜独特的用户界面，点头收费和一般的智能手机支付应用程序有所不同的，发送比特币涉及的头部动作也不只是点一下头。
最初，用户必须通过扫描二维码连接现有的比特币钱包。
然后，使用语音激活的应用程序，用户需要说“OK眼镜，进行付款。”这时，该装置将扫描POS机应用程序的二维码，并在眼镜的显示屏显示细节。
下一步是点头，实际上用户需要倾斜头部两次来发送付款。
由于新颖的交易方式得到认可， Eaze计划实施更高安全级别：简单地说，将设置消费限额，超过限额需要密码认证。
可穿戴设备创新
Eaze说，点头支付提供了一个“真正免提”的支付解决方案。
“我们很荣幸能成为第一个把全球支付解决方案应用到谷歌眼镜的人。二月份，我们公布点头支付的产品消息后，我们一直努力使我们的产品可以交付公众”，Eaze联合创始人Rutger van Zuidam补充说：
“随着Coinbase和Blockchain.info的整合，我们也顺应了市场的要求，没有开发新钱包应用，只是在谷歌眼镜上使用已有的钱包。 ”
虽然谷歌眼镜的概念自2012年就有，那也只在本周，谷歌才开始对广大市民销售眼镜。 1500美元的价格似乎相当昂贵，但它值得一戴，谷歌眼镜可看作一个精巧的技术演示，而不是一个实际的消费产品 – 在新兴穿戴市场促进创新，这就是谷歌的运作模式。
一些开发商利用这个机会，为谷歌眼镜这种独特的外形提出新的概念和接入已有的服务。去年，一支纽约的开发团队推出了第一款谷歌眼镜付款程序，但是这款程序专为砖与砂浆商店（bricks-and-mortar stores）设计的。
不管你是否喜欢，可穿戴设备都来了，并且许多开发人员正在开发各种不同的应用，包括智能手表和智能眼镜上的数字钱包。
随着安卓可穿戴设备的推出和最新的谷歌钱包的更新，尽管速度缓慢，这方面的开发应用还是逐渐增多。
评论：为什么，创新只能来自美国。
‘Nod to Pay’ App Lets Google Glass Wearers Spend Bitcoin
Startup Eaze has released the public beta of its innovative bitcoin payments app designed for wearable technology.
Nod to Pay was designed for Google Glass and an early public beta is now available for download directly from the developer.
The app currently supports bitcoin wallets from Blockchain and Coinbase, and Eaze says it plans to add support for other wallets in the future.
OK Glass, make a payment
Due to the unique Google Glass user interface, Nod to Pay is somewhat different to set up than your average smartphone payments app, and sending bitcoin involves a bit more than a simple nod of the head, too.
Initially, users must link their existing wallets by scanning a QR code.
Then, to use the voice-activated app, the user needs to say “OK Glass, make a payment.” At which point, the device scans the QR code of any point-of-sale (POS) application and displays the details on the Glass display.
The next step is the nod. Nods, in fact, as the user needs to tilt the head twice to send the payment.
Due to the novel way transactions are confirmed, Eaze plans to implement an additional security level: simply, a spending limit will be set, above which PIN authentication is required.
Wearable innovation
Eaze says Nod to Pay offers a “truly handsfree” payment solution.
“We are proud to be the first to bring a global payment solution to Google Glass. After our announcement of Nod To Pay in February, we worked hard to make our product available to the public,” said Eaze co-founder Rutger van Zuidam, adding:
“With the integration of Coinbase and Blockchain.info we have also answered to the request of the market by building not yet another wallet but by making existing wallets available on Glass.”
Although the concept has been around since 2012, it was only this week that Google finally started selling Glass to the general public. At $1,500 the price seems rather steep, but it’s worth bearing in mind that Glass was conceived as an elaborate tech demo rather than an actual consumer product – Google’s way of fostering innovation in the emerging wearables market.
A number of developers used the opportunity to come up with new concepts and ports of existing services to this unique form factor. A team of New York-based developers introduced the first Google Glass payment app last year, but GlassPaywas designed specifically for use in bricks-and-mortar stores.
Like them or not, wearables are coming, and many developers are experimenting with a wide range of different applications, including digital wallets for smart watches and smart glasses.
With the launch of Android Wear and the latest Google Wallet update, development efforts in this niche are starting to pick up, albeit slowly.
