First Inokyo Store in Mountain View, CA

This is where Inokyo's story began. Over the course of 6-weeks, my co-founder and I built this prototype store, launching what became the first autonomous store in California. 

While there was a lot of duct tape involved, when we saw the look on customer's faces as they checked out, we knew we were onto something.

We built this store with two goals in mind:
  1. Understand what it's like to be a retailer
  2. Study shopper behavior and refine the UX
