The world's first VR payment product, Alipay VR Pay will be online at the end of September

Yesterday, Ant Financial disclosed to the China Business News that VR Pay, which has been researched and developed for half a year, is expected to be launched at the end of September this year. It can complete the payment within the virtual scene.

Last month, VR Shopping Buy+ officially made its debut. This product allows users to shop online in virtual shops. Recently, eBay has partnered with Australian retailer Myer to create the world’s first virtual reality department store.


However, there is a problem that, after the user selects, tries on, and places orders in a virtual scene, he/she also needs to take off the VR helmet to make a payment on the mobile phone, and the experience is not smooth. VR Pay can solve this problem, allowing users to pay directly in the virtual scene. The operation of VR Pay is roughly as follows:

After the user places an order, the VR interface will pop up a 3D form of Alipay cashier. The user logs in to the Alipay account through gaze, nodding, and gestures, and finally enters the password to complete the transaction. Among them , the user's visual focus stays for a few seconds at a certain point, the representative confirms, and the nod control uses a mobile gyroscope track combined with a special algorithm to recognize the nodding movement; gesture control requires the user to give the VR helmet an external handle or gesture sensor. Wait.

The developers of VR Pay stated that the difficulty of this technology is to simplify the operation steps of the VR payment interface and solve the security problem of VR payment. At present, the security of VR Pay has reached the level of mobile Alipay, but the official also revealed whether it will add biometric security technology in the future.

Alipay VR Pay plans to connect to other third-party apps through a unified SDK interface. After half a year of research and development, VR Pay is likely to become the world's first VR product to achieve VR payment capabilities. Of course, the difficulty of promoting VR Pay is also relatively large. Because its development depends on a variety of virtual application scenarios and the cooperation of upstream and downstream software and hardware manufacturers, the entire link is indispensable. At present, the entire upstream and downstream industry chain of VR shopping Still in the development stage, products and technologies are still immature. Therefore, VR Pay still needs a long way to go.
