Taking the feedback from the critique session, I have rented and watched the film 'In Time' for some possible inspiration on how the currency system works in the film. The film shares the same values of being payed in hours however, this film pays you in hours of time in your life. This science fiction concept is quite drastic however, it still follows the same principles and the units of time is also used as a currency system and can be used to buy food and other products. There are also references to contactless payment in the film where the customer simply waves his wrist over a scanner and the time is deducted. Parallels can be seen with the use of contactless payment with smart watches at the moment where the customer simply waves their wrist over a contactless card reader.
