The Protean Echo Reduces All Of Your Credit Cards To One Ubercard

Ready to enter a cardless future but not quite sure about NFC? The Protean Echo might be for you. This clever project essentially captures your credit cards onto one multi-purpose card that can hold up to three cards at a time. It works like this: you scan your magnetic stripe cards into a smartphone app using a supplied dongle. You can then "upload" three cards to the Protean Echo and select them by tapping one of three touch-sensitive spots. The Echo's batteries last for 2 years and you can store as many cards as you want on your phone.
