silicon.com visited Fujitsu's Customer Experience Centre in Middlesex to see the Japanese company's vision for the future of retail.

Fujitsu retail technology serves around 80 retailers and 16,000 stores across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the company demonstrated some of the tech we could see on the high street in the near future.

Shown here are a palm vein scanner, a tablet PC for staff or customer use and a screen that displays customer offers.
