AR - Mart: The Implementation of Augmented Reality as a Smart Self-Service Cashier in the Pandemic Era

Considering the recent booming of cashier-less checkout technology and the future trend of increasing self-service and contactless conditions due to Covid-19, it is necessary to find an alternative checkout concept suitable for local retail conditions. Using augmented reality, the aim of this study is to compare the proposed method with the conventional method of cashier checkout using barcode scanner. The method used in this study is marker-based tracking, where the marker is an image file which will be uploaded to Vuforia SDK Kit. The result of the proposed method for AR-Mart as a smart cashier is faster, more accurate and can reduces the duration for cashier checkout significantly.
