Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and computer readable media for augmented reality (AR) activated dispensing machines are disclosed. Example methods include a dispensing machine that is configured to access a captured image, process the image to generate an avatar of a user, present an image of the avatar with an indication of a vending item on the display of the system, determine the user performed a gesture to select the vending item, and dispense the selected vending item. Additionally, the dispensing machine is configured to provide virtual musical instruments to the user and record a music video. The dispensing machine is configured to communicate with a user device and send codes for vending items and AR graphics to be displayed to the user.
