Here’s everything you need to know, including how it works.
What is a ‘just walk out’ store?
These stores work by using the same types of technologies found in self-driving cars, such as computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning.
Where can you find these stores?
How does it work?
You don’t need to check out and you can replace items at any time.
The app has a navigation bar at the bottom with tabs for four screens: Key, Receipts, About, and More. The Key screen seems to bring up the QR code that the store’s turnstiles scan to let you in, while the Receipt screen shows what you bought after you’ve left.

There is also a mention of “facial recognition” and user information, which may include images of the user, details about the user like height and weight, user biometrics, a username and password, even user purchase history.
We’re not entirely sure if this patent application precisely describes the final iteration of Just Walk Out technology. However, it is a camera-tracking system and it must also use some kind of AI to track you through the store.
