I thought they were going to use some kind of RFID system.
Using cameras and shelf sensors seem a little archaic for tracking retail purchases in real time. I wonder what happens when the store is extremely busy or people are taking things off shelves and putting them back.
- cm2187 9y agoI wondered why we were still using barcodes in shops when you could do the checkout in one go with RFIDs. Turns out that the last time I checked, RFIDs are quite expensive, something like 10 cent a piece. A minor cost if you are selling electronics, but too expensive relative to the price of a chocolate bar.
