I'm on a spree of reading articles on payments in India for a design interview assignment.
The idea of incorporating a god/goddess' picture on receiving bohni on a UPI payment is great work around. However, I was wondering how:
- the tactility of offering cash to a mandir in the house/ business could be replaced (I don't think it can be)
- the attachment to a particular image/ form/ idol that they're used to seeing could be incorporated (adding a photo they want to?)
- the experience of that mandir: fragrance of an agarbatti, lighting a diya, offering flowers and then physically being able to touch the idol (or customs of other religions) could be incorporated.
A digital space being able to replicate everything in the physical world seem nearly impossible to me. And yes, such minor additions like in the last image are definitely a step ahead! :)
Great piece!
