Evolution of Catch&Go, a Cash Register-Free Digital Store Service that Allows for Shopping via Facial Recognition

NTT DATA provides Catch&Go, a cash register-free digital store service. In addition to the QR code recognition systems used in prior experimental digital stores, we have introduced facial recognition systems and dynamic pricing using electronic price cards. We will test the new shopping experience that enables customers to enter a store and make payments purely through facial recognition as well as the use of electronic price cards linked to the store's inventory information to improve sales and reduce waste loss.

Global Access to Historical Cultural Heritage throughout the ASEAN Region via Digital Archiving

NTT DATA is participating in the ASEAN Cultural Heritage Digital Archive project, which entails the digitization of important historical cultural heritage from throughout the ASEAN region.
