    Ehh, it shows the categories when you're far away, shows you what should be in there but they are out of, is easier to see everything it has. It's not bad, but it isn't exactly needed.

      some of the products are quite seriously displayed smaller than what's in the freezer, kinda problematic for anyone visually impaired a bit. Not only that but the way the screen changes to advertise stuff is super annoying in a way, you can't tell what brands or exact type of things are in there, forcing you to either wait or open every door to find what you're looking for exactly. It's just attempting to solve a problem that a regular sign above the fridges already solved. Also if the screen wigs out, since tech isn't fullproof, you're now looking at completely opaque glass

        Honestly the most elegant way to have information visible like that would be if everyone had smart AR glasses and there was just a QR code or something telling the glasses what to show.

        Of course under capitalism that comes with a ton of concerns about advertising and privacy and it quickly becomes some Black Mirror shit.
