The machine

Beauty at the gate, where there is no store.

Travellers wait at the gate with time to spare and the beauty hall behind them. Between flights the screen runs brand ads. A catalog vending unit, rebuilt with lit shelves, a mirror screen and a boarding pass reader.

Concept render at a DXB gate. Base unit: Guangzhou Micron Vending Technology (WEIMI), to confirm in RFQ.
Discover

Step up to the mirror.

The camera wakes and PulpoAR runs on the machine's own screen. No app, no staff.

Recommend

One routine, not one product.

Built only from what is on this machine's shelves, so every recommendation can be bought on the spot.

Products and price are placeholders.
Pay

Boarding pass, one tap, done.

The pass sets the duty free price, the card closes the sale. Minutes before boarding, with no queue and no till.

Reward

Rewards on the same tap.

Duty free price, Skywards miles, and the traveller's own card rewards. The screen also points to pre-order on dubaidutyfree.com for the next trip.

Dubai Duty Free accepts Skywards miles today. Shown for discussion, no new partnership implied.
Vend

The machine builds the bundle.

The elevator collects each item from its shelf and lowers it to the pickup bay. Glass is carried, never dropped.

Done

Routine in hand, before boarding.

Skin read, shade tried, routine paid and collected at the gate. The results go home on the traveller's phone.

The data

One sale. Everything it tells you.

The record this single machine sale produced. Flight data comes from the boarding pass she chose to scan. Face and card data never leave the machine.

Retail media

The screen earns between sales.

When no one is shopping, the machine plays brand ads and counts who walks past and who stops. Anonymously, on the device.
