Touch screen vending machines have started surfacing only recently. And if you think they are cool, then let’s just say Tokyo already has something better. The new touch-based system called aCure, installed in the Shinagawa Station in Tokyo, is probably the inception of the next generation vending machines. Photo-realistic images of the beverage, a much improved user interface and a whole range of available beverages are just a few things included.

Obviously, the aCure is an instant success as it is frequently pulling a lot of crowd. After all it does look flashy!
