I know times are bad, but please do not shoplift

Invisible Barcode Technology

The innovative technology at the heart of this new initiative uses invisible barcodes that are imperceptible to the human eye. Unlike traditional barcodes, these codes cover the entire surface of a product, making it possible to scan an item from any angle. This advancement, developed by Digimarc, ensures that products cannot be bypassed at the checkout, reducing the chances of theft. https://www.digimarc.com/

Walmart’s self-checkout machines, equipped with advanced scanners, can detect these invisible codes even if a customer tries to hide an item. The machines are also capable of scanning multiple products at once, allowing for faster and more efficient transactions. With this system in place, Walmart no longer relies solely on customers to scan every product correctly, closing a significant loophole that has been exploited by shoplifters.

Too bad for Uniqlo that this technology wasn't available when the Indian students shoplifted thousands of dollars worth of goods from the store in S'pore.

All these measures come to nothing in California as you can walk off with up to USD950 worth of goods without paying.
