Not only selling soft drinks, Japan also has vending machines for food, clothes, accessories, magazines or comics,…  We can also see vending machines.

Accordingly, recently a Japanese company named DyDo has launched a test product of a vending machine “Use your feet” to buy goods for the purpose of limiting contact for users during the Covid-19.

DyDo launches foot-operated vending machine.

According to the company, this is a simple yet effective design and extremely easy to use. To buy from this machine, first use your foot to select the number corresponding to the product you want to buy in the button panel right below the machine, then step on the pedal at the pickup door, the door of the storage box. The store will open and you can easily pick up the goods without having to open the door.

Step 1: Use your foot to select the product you want to buy by stepping on the keys below the machine.

At the same time, when combined with the non-cash payment feature, customers are also somewhat assured of hygiene when using.

DyDo says the vending machine is currently at the concept stage and is being tested. In the future, it is also possible to integrate more features in this vending machine such as taking pre-orders or sterilizing products with a UV lamp in the bottom tray before the product reaches the customer.

Vending machines have extra masks and disinfecting tissues to protect health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
