What about new items? Stores get new items all the time. Won't they have to update it for every new item?

i was wondering the same thing. most produce is priced by the weight, i wonder why they didnt show that. I assume it would be the same process just put the item on the scale and the camera takes a pic to reconize it and then weighs it,

[evrenry]

is that device calculate weight of an apple?

I tried to purchase a human hand, but it kept charging me double whenever I scanned it.

I worked as a cashier at costco and scanning bar codes is easy because we could spin the item and it would scan it without looking versus this which requires more hand movements and focus.

Wouldn't it be smarter to just put everything on a conveyor belt with the camera above and let it just look at it.

If you network all the scanners together, they can share information with one another. Whatever one learns, the others do. Also, make that database accessible by the scanners online so they can share across the world.
