Introduction to Internet of Things in Retail sector

Internet of Things has a wide range of applications among which it's application in retail industry intrigued me. I was at Walmart store, a few months earlier which was my first visit to a Walmart store ever, I was surprised to see that a billing counter has no "humans" and people were in a line to scan their and bill on their own items. I was overwhelmed looking at this and the very thought of "No lines, No Register, No Checkout" by amazon go stores caught my eye and I was eager to know more about the stores and the technologies used in amazon go which I think is a more advanced version of Walmart. This technology solves the problems like standing in lengthy queues, reduces the human effort and saves money for the organization which can be invested in other platforms.  That's the purpose and reason I have chosen to investigate about the retail industries in terms of IoT. I will post my experiences and experiments pursuing this domain in IoT.
