OXFORD, Conn., Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - NXT-ID Inc. (NASDAQ:
NXTD) ("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a biometric authentication
company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announces
that it will be officially debuting its new Wocket® smart wallet at
the 2015 International CES in Las
Vegas, January 6–9, 2015 (Booth #21926 in South Hall 1,
lower level, LVCC). The Wocket will also be previewed to select
media at Digital Experience on January 5,
2015. This marks the first time that the general public will
be able to see and experience Wocket. NXT-ID will also be unveiling
new colors, materials, production and prototype accessory designs
for the Wocket at CES.
Wocket is the world's first smart wallet, the next evolution in
smart devices, following the smartphone and smartwatch. Wocket is
designed to protect your identity and replace all the cards in your
wallet, with no smartphone or internet connection required. The
Wocket works virtually anywhere credit cards are accepted; stores
up to 10,000 cards, records, coupons and other data, and only works
with your biometric (voice) stamp of approval.
Legendary pickpocket ("The Gentleman Thief") Apollo Robbins will also be on hand at the
NXT-ID booth at CES on January 6 and
7 to demonstrate the real-world pickpocketing and thievery
scenarios that make the Wocket smart wallet a practical, must-have
device for consumers.
"Most consumers are familiar with the anxiety of losing a wallet
filled with their cards, coupons and personal information," said
Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "People
connect with all the negative implications of this information
being in the wrong hands. We are thrilled to officially unveil the
Wocket smart wallet at CES, the leading global forum for technology
innovation that can truly revolutionize consumers' lives. With
Wocket, consumers finally have a convenient, attractive and secure
modern solution to replace their wallet entirely, and never again
need to endure the risks of carrying a traditional wallet."
Credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID, membership and insurance
cards; tickets; emergency, medical and business contacts; coupons
and virtually any card can be stored and protected on the Wocket.
Unlike other smart cards and digital wallets, Wocket is a
standalone device and doesn't rely on insecure connections to
smartphones, apps or the internet to store or transmit personal
information. All personal information is encrypted and stored on
Wocket's tamper-proof chip. Wocket owners have the option of using
a smartphone app to configure their wallet and install firmware
updates – for security, personal information remains on the Wocket
and is not transmitted.
