The Pin code
Protector Field Research
My research and design intervention
centres on ‘surf and turf’ crime that occurs when
unsuspecting consumers conduct card transactions at the
point of sale. Currently, chip and pin magnetic terminals
provide very little protection against the wondering eye of
artificial surveillance cameras, cashiers and consumers
waiting in a queue. These visuals seen provide a clear
demonstration of how exposed we are when entering our
personal pin codes in a public space.
 It
became my determination to design a retro fitting, cost
effective solution to this problem, the ‘Pin code Protector’
(please see design intervention on the following page). |
