The Electronics Dispensing Machine

You’d have to see it to believe it, but it’s certainly not the candy dispensing machine you’re used to. That’s right, it’s a dispensing machine that dispenses... electronics!

Surprisingly enough it has been around for many months, maybe even a little over a year.
One of these happen to be located in a Macy’s in Arden Fair Mall.

Unbelievable right?!?

Obviously it’s a highly unlikely place for this kind of machine to be situated in since this department store mainly sales clothes, shoes, fragrances, jewelry, accessories and more with the exception of electronics.

Well, believe it!

This particular dispensing machine allows you to purchase iPods, PS2s, digital cameras, memory cards and the fascinating Myvu®, which will be covered in just a moment.

This machine will take cash, credit cards and even Macy’s cards.

Simply use your finger to operate the attached touch screen. There you will be able to view a wide assortment of available products that are currently in-stock within the machine itself.

You can add what you’ve selected into the shopping cart and continue to shop some more.

When checking some of the prices on the screen it seems as though it stays consistent with market value.

The iPod nanos for instance were being sold at $149.99. Which is what they retail for if you were to purchase it in an Apple store.

Once you’ve completed your transaction simply touch the check-out option and pay for your wonderful new merch!

Your items will then be obtainable from the machine’s square output box or slot.

Now as for the Myvu, which just so happens to be available as a dispensable item is actually quite amazing.

The Myvu, which look almost similar to sunglasses, only they are much narrower and it will also allow anyone who owns an iPod video or even an iPhone, to watch videos and movies.

Attached to the glasses are earphones which will obviously allow you to listen to the movie.

The earphones, or earbuds as they call it, are not only comfortable, but also has sound isolation.

The glasses come in different styles and have up to four hours of battery life.

One of these, more specifically, the Myvu Crystal goes for $299.95 plus tax. According to their website, these glasses feature Kopin’s Cyberdisplay technology, which supposedly has the highest pixel density and sharpest resolution.

There are others which go for as little as $99.95.

It’s all a matter of taste!

If you’re ever in the Arden area in Sacramento, the dispensing machine is actually a neat thing to take a look at.

If you thought it was neat to order coffee or cocoa from a similar machine, just wait until you see this.

Come to think of it, the machine reminds me as if it were something straight out of The Sims 2 PC game.

If you’ve played it then you know which one I’m talking about. It is the second expansion pack that has a college theme to it. In it there was a similar machine where the Sims could buy anything from MP3s to handheld electronic games and even cell phones.

Unlike the candy machines, it's going to cost a bit more than a dollar to get anything out of this machine.
