Proverbial wallet: tangible interface for financial awareness

We propose a tangible interface concept for communicating personal financial information in an ambient and relevant manner. The concept is embodied in a set of wallets that provide the user with haptic feedback from personal metrics. We describe how such feedback can inform purchasing decisions and improve general financial awareness.
