1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,080
so visa sponsored us out to new york again

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,519
seriously if it wasn't so expensive i would just buy an apartment here at this

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,240
point anyway the event today is to celebrate the upcoming olympic winter

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:18,480
games pyeongchang 2018. they're going to be sponsoring some amazing athletes some

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:24,160
of which are even here today and this is also my first look at team usa's

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,080
official year and a handful of

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:31,279
contactless payment methods that visa is going to be introducing exclusively for

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:36,000
the winter olympics next year all right check-in time

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:41,200
all they have is vip so i guess i'll uh go with one of those next up the

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:43,680
nigerian women's bobsled team is here so

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,360
naturally they hauled a full-sized bobsled

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:52,000
into the event this is authentic right

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:57,280
that's how it works so anyway if they qualify

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:02,239
they would be the first ever bobsled team from the entire continent of africa

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,400
male or female to compete in the winter games and then right around the corner

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,000
we get into what is pretty much the main event this is the nbc shopping

17
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:16,080
experience and there are a few noteworthy things here this is my first

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,000
look at any pyeongchang 2018 gear and

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,840
they've got an absolute ton of it on display here they're stuffies of the

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:27,119
official mascots and a bunch of really good looking team usa gear they've got

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,479
scarves the jackets look great although

22
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:32,479
i have to say i am partial to

23
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:36,720
the toque sorry excuse me up beanie

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,759
then once i'm in the shop and i've decided i want to

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:45,759
buy something we get to have a look at a really cool implementation of

26
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:51,759
contactless payment that visa is showing off here so the underlying technology

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:56,399
isn't anything new but now it's built into one of three collectible items to

28
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,439
celebrate the winter games there's a pin which is actually on sale already in

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,680
south korea and a cute little sticker and this one's really neat there's

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,440
actually a pair of payment enabled gloves that will be available

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,080
exclusively in south korea during the winter olympics and then all of them

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,560
have built-in payment so i wanted to give you guys a closer look at this

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,080
but i'm already getting the evil eye for even lifting up the case that much these

34
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:25,120
are prototypes they're not the final version so they wouldn't let me take

35
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:32,160
them out from under the glass so what i'll do is i'll show you how it all works with the pin as my demo basically

36
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:35,640
you walk up to any terminal just like you normally would

37
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:45,200
get the little confirmation animation and boom you are done okay then so on

38
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,920
the surface these items seem pretty

39
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,920
superfluous especially in a high-tech place like south korea but there's

40
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:56,560
actually a bit more to this idea than meets the eye these souvenirs come

41
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:01,440
pre-loaded with south korean wan you can just wave your pin or your hand or your

42
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,360
sticker at the terminal and off you go with some gear a nice cup of hot

43
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:09,120
chocolate from the concession stand or whatever else it is that you want so

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,959
it's not a replacement for the payment options that already exist

45
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:17,680
it's just a way of showing off how contactless has the potential to do even

46
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,239
more for cashless convenience than the plastic cards that we're using now

47
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,840
so thanks to visa for sponsoring this trip out here thanks to you guys for

48
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:29,120
