We have the technology. We can build it. We can make it better, smaller, and more plastic than the prototype demo. But we can be demo accurate, too. Our windows are as shattered as our ...
If you want to take a walk round the shop of the future, a good place to start is a supermarket located in the Bicocca district of Milan, Italy. There, thanks to a blend of gaming technologies, IoT and cloud computing, you can seamlessly interact with the products that interest you and make better buying choices.
Here, information about a chocolate egg is displayed on one of the digital mirrors at Coop Italia's Supermarket of the Future in Milan.
The system that brings the information to the mirrors can work in two ways: either fully in the cloud or with on-premise software. In the first case, once the Kinect recognizes the product that interests the customer, the NUC PC goes looking for the corresponding information in the cloud and then shows it on the display. This option, Coop Italia says, has only been experimented with in a test environment.
The actual version of the system currently in place in Milan relies on a small application installed on each NUC PC, which contains all the information related to the products on sale. The app is updated four times a day.
