| JR is installing new high-tech vending machines throughout
their railway lines. Touch screen panel (yes,
just like your i-pod and i-phone) shows what
you needs to drink when you stand in front
of the computerized machine. How would they
judge which drink you would prefer? There
is a camera installed which would detect
your age and gender, based on their rough
(sometime accurate?) judge, they will introduce
you the best appropriate drink. You may get
beer?! Just touch it on the monitor, and
swing your Suica Card, you'll be happily
fulfilled by the liquid. Due to possible
power shortage, they are NOT operating 01:00AM
- 05:00AM, only 60 percent of full blast
is needed compare to the old machine (save
energy). |
