Big Brother Vending Machine: This is a vending machine in Tokyo station. It has a camera which “sees” you and recommends a drink based on your appearance. The red dot is on the tea I buy almost every morning from other machines. A spot on recommendation! (*I also occassionally use my train pass to buy, I assume it can “read” a pass which is close by, but I’m not certain.)
