Photos: The high-tech future of retail

From interactive pens to walking screens...

The latest innovations in tech for retailers were showcased at the Retail Business Show held at the Olympia in West London earlier this month.

The Musion Eyeliner 3D display could be the next thing in window dressing. The high definition projection system uses only one camera shoot and one projector to produce a life-like 3D image that can be viewed without the aid of glasses.

The product has already been used at London stores, including Virgin Megastore and Superdrug.

    Tesco may have 7000 tablets to aid picking but this does not stop them failing to pick the items people want. EG In local store Hovis wholemeal thick bread was stocked but the tray was always empty of near empty because customers bought it. The cure was to stop stocking it. On Sunday they had 10 different varieties of chips in vast quantities but no roast potatoes. The device they need is one which tells which items are missing from the shelves.

    Wireless Pen is a nice idea, but given the speed at what the staff at my local supermarket write at it might still be quicker to key it in.
