Not to be outdone with Amazon’s Just Walk Out headlines for cashierless shopping, 7-Eleven in Japan is taking that concept one step further with self-checkout terminals that feature holographic touch screens. The system utilizes a display embedded in the checkout counter that projects an image of a touch screen, which shoppers can tap like a real one. One important aspect is that the new platform takes up to 30% less space than a conventional POS configuration, saving valuable counterspace and creating room for more products. 

A spokesperson for 7-Eleven said that a pilot program for the technology will start next month at six stores in Tokyo. The registers will accept only cashless payment methods, including credit cards, e-money cards and QR codes. Shoppers will not be able to use these terminals to buy alcohol, tobacco or prepared foods sold at normal checkout counters.
