TOUCHSCREEN TECHNOLOGIES
The popularity of smartphones and tablet computers is driving the demand and acceptance of touchscreens in many applications. Touchscreen on a vending machine allows a wealth of information to be presented to the user at every stage of the purchase process. Before buying it could discern the clients age and gender suggesting an appropriate product. If a product is selected it could display ingredients, fat, and calorie content.
Then, once purchased it could recommend complimentary food and drink you may want to consider as well before walking away. The same stages can be applied to gadget purchases or entertainment products such as movies or games. The combination of additional information and advertising will help to boost sales and overall revenue if they are placed in high traffic areas.
