The Future of Vending Machines?

This concept vending machine is the most beautiful vending machine that we have seen as of late. Created as a joint project by Sanden, Okaya Electronics, and Intel, it features a 65-inch transparent HD display that streams simple silhouetted animations that include advertisements while you’re making your beverage selection.

It also has a built-in camera to identify consumers based on male or female, age, and other demographics. Yeah…it’s pretty much an ingenious way to try to sell you more stuff, but it’s definitely a step up from the vending machines of yesteryear.

See how it works:
