We carried out the desk research into two stages. Our first objective was to understand what exactly did a corporate campus consist of?
We studied various corporate campuses all over the world and considered what they offered, how they functioned and the scale of the campus. We also interview some workers to understand the work atmospheres in their companies and what they would like to change if given an opportunity. This helped us to understand the past and the existing scenario on the relationship between payments and corporate campuses.
Apart from corporate campus, we also researched about the prevailing systems of payments and considered what existed in past. How payments were made and how would the contactless payments and methods of payments be in the future. We looked more in futuristic technology and reasons for the development.
Then, we researched into consumer adaptation to new methods and their reviews and critics on futuristic technology specifically in the field of wearable devices. We considered existing and proposed wearable devices in terms of contactless payments and how they worked.
The desk research helped us to make our research foundation strong and develop a methodology for the new technology we were supposed to design.
