Junk-Refusing Vending Machines

These Healthy Snack Vending Machines Reference Your Medical Records

Unlike other snack vending machines that help you stay healthy by simply stocking more nutritious inventory, the Luce X2 TouchTV from Rhea Vendors uses facial recognition technology and your medical records to keep you on the right track. Using your medical records as reference, the vending machine could stop you from buying an unhealthy item if you don't need it.

The line of snack vending machines feature a 22 inch touch screen that enable customers to make their selection. Those with an account will also be subject to a facial recognition test before their choice is dropped down. If the health information you input through your account suggests your snack would be unwise, you can be refused.
