Someone called me for an interview with Amazon. They were working on an image recognition system for physical stores. Once you got an item from the shelve and put it on the basket they've open a virtual basket and add the item there, too. Once you get to checkout, all you have to do is pay.

I had a similar idea when I developed checkout for Metro Cash and Carry. Put some cameras near the wait line at the cash registers and use image recognition instead of having a clerck scan all the goods. They weren't interested, though.
