Operational model of a digital payment terminal in a retail environment
Functional demonstrator of a digital payment terminal. With this model, one can demonstrate a digital payment interaction that is clearer and more tangible than the interactions employed by today’s payment terminals. The presented interaction induces expressive movements of vendor and buyer, and harmonizes these physical movements with on-screen movements.
Research questions
How can interaction with dematerialized artifacts, in this case coins and bills, be made clearer, more meaningful and valuable?
Impact
The payment terminal is published in the doctoral thesis of Lukas Van Campenhout, and presented at TEI 2014. Next to that, the payment terminal is used as a demonstrator in several courses in the 3d year bachelor and the 1st year master at Product Development, Faculty of Design Sciences, University of Antwerp.
