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.
