The first vending machine with a tactile interface in Japan has just been installed in Shinagawa station. Not only it has a tactile screen with an interface that allows you to choose the desired drink but it also has a camera able to recognize the age and the sex of the client. Using that information and depending on the season the machine recommends you one drink or another. It also records the drinks you have bought in the past so it knows what to recommend you in the future. 500 of these machines will be installed throughout Tokyo streets in the future and all of them will communicate with each other via WiMax.
