the vending machine would be interesting for sure. i just hope it will be worth the length and cost of the development of this tech.
They’ll make a really bad implementation of this just like Walgreens did with their screens in cooler doors: example
You can never see the contents of the fridge directly. Worse, the screens cycle so that giant word “Pizza” doesn’t let you see inside, so now you have to open the door to see what pizza is in there or stand there in front waiting for the display to cycle to show you pictures of whats in side.
I mean it’s a great investment to make me not shop there that’s for sure. I haven’t entered one of my local stores in roughly 4 years because when they did their reset they put those stupid coolers in, I don’t wanna deal with them
I think it’s overrated tech for now, yeah, but if enough money and effort goes into it and it becomes commoditized, it could get interesting. I mean, what used to be a $1000 LCD monitor 20 years ago is now a $20 part with 20x the quality that you can drop into a DIY weekend project.
