Every day I come across something new popping up in the news, and I was just scrolling through Google News when this “Just Walk Out” Technology came out. I was like what? What is this? Is this some new brand of fitness wearable tech or some new app?

Just Walk Out Technology

Well not exactly, this is Amazon!

“WOAH” (I mean this is how I told my friends and this was their reaction)

Anyway, let me cut the whole act and tell you what exactly this ‘Just Walk Out’ technology of Amazon is…

Imagine walking into a store, picking up the things you need, and simply leaving, no need to stand in line to pay. This cool ‘Just walk out’ tech makes it possible! It works its magic using smart computer vision, sensors, and deep learning. Amazon has this tech in some of their stores like Amazon Go, certain Amazon Fresh spots, and some Whole Foods Market locations. So, you can breeze through your shopping without the hassle of a traditional checkout.

Amazing right? No more standing in queues waiting for the dude to finish Billing the person ahead of you. All you need to do is go to the store, grab what you want, and leave. Your Amazon account will be charged and you will just need to make sure you have enough balance to pay that. haha Just Joking!

How do I shop at a store with Just Walk Out technology?

The procedure for entering a store equipped with Just Walk Out technology can vary. You can gain entry by either inserting or tapping a credit card at the entry gate. Alternatively, if the store is equipped with Amazon One, you also have the option of hovering your palm over an Amazon One device at the entry gate. On the off chance that the store uses a versatile application for a section, you can just sweep the QR code on your gadget to get entrance.

When inside the store, you can openly select the things you need, and they will naturally be added to your virtual truck. On the off chance that you choose to return a thing to the rack, it will be immediately eliminated from your virtual truck. At the point when you’re finished shopping, you can leave the store, and your picked installment technique will be charged appropriately. If you’re new to using the Amazon One palm recognition service, you can enroll in less than a minute at enrollment kiosks located outside the store.

You will be billed on the preferred method of payment, you can get a receipt from a kiosk or simply have the receipt billed to your email address. It is simple no rocket science.

I think Amazon is making great progress in introducing technologies and making things easier for shopping. They have taken a huge step with this ‘Just Walk Out’ Technology and this will reduce queues in shopping malls along with the hassle of waiting. You just need to go grab whatever you want and leave.
