The University of British Columbia has opened Gage Market, a fully autonomous, cashier-free convenience store that is open around the clock. The store uses Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology, which relies on overhead cameras and shelf sensors to track items. Products are added to or removed from an online cart and customers are charged to their credit card for items they take out of the store. Gage Market holds a variety of products, including snacks, beverages, fresh and frozen meals, and personal care items. “Gage Market offers a look at the potential future of shopping, where technology and convenience go hand in hand,” said UBC Director of Food Services Colin Moore.
