The Argentine developer Agil Route has a system on the basis of Kinect developed that allows retailers to be able to examine how they view their shelf space as well as a set-up. There is more use of ‘heat maps’.
The Kinect camera is in the so-called Shopper Tracker system above shelves assembled and the software developed allows the system to include, the duration that a customer for a column with shelves able to register, as well as the number of times a person along that part of the store running. The system can have multiple persons at the same time to follow, where it would even be able to see which person on which product takes.
Can also by Shopper Tracker be noted that a customer or a hand movement to a product, but this eventually did not grasp, or that the customer has the product back in place. With the help of so-called heat maps, which the shopkeeper gives an overview of the front of the shelf space, is it clear which places in the shelves to get the most attention.
With the data supplied can retailers better decisions, take appropriate products in the range like to keep or at what height they products places, it is expected. The product is not yet commercially available, though it should be there if the creator is changing fast. In the video below is as example a supermarket, but the system can also be used for other types of shops used to be.
