How did Amazon Go’s “Just Walk Out” technology work?

The technology, the company touted, was exclusively computer-based. The Amazon Go app on iOS and Android linked to Amazon accounts and By scanning the QR code The store was entered.

To detect which product the customer has purchased on the store shelves weight sensors and when someone buys a product from the shelf, it is added to the virtual shopping cart. When he put it back, it was taken out of his basket.

Once they finished shopping, they could leave the store without making any payment, and the products they purchased through the turnstiles at the exit It was automatically detected and added to the Amazon account. Finally payment was received.

It turns out that things aren’t quite that way.

These were people watching customers through cameras. 700 out of every 1000 ‘Just Walk Out’ transactions take place in India. It was controlled by more than 1000 employees.
