In the Supermarket of the Future …

July 3rd, 2008 · View Comments · Nokia, gadgets and technology

BBC is running a very cool piece on the Supermarket of the future. You scan your items as you go via your phone’s bar code reader and then the phone’s software generates a single bar code to total everything making it quick on the checkout side as well. You can even choose to pay via NFC or a biometric finger print reader!

The whole thing is shown running on a Nokia N82 and uses custom software specific for the store which looks like it’s a European Costco.

    links from Technoratia scanner and the machine tells you how much you owe. Pretty nuts right? Check out the video link below… Nokia N82 in the Supermarket Of The Future Thanks to the reader Stefan for sending me the email with this link, which I originally read atAtmasphere.net. This opens the door to so many new technologies that the N82 can take advantage of. What else can you see this being used for?
