Pic of the Day: June 27

Technology and practicality come together at the Tybble Torg apartment complex laundry facility.  Swipe your fob/id tag, pick a date and time to reserve a room, and have private access to the washer and dryer of your dreams in advance.  When your reservation slot is ready, return to the BokningsSystem with your fob.  It automatically recognizes your pre-booking, and voila, the door to your laundry room unlocks.

We figured out the interface without the use of Google Translate.

If you think this is high-tech, wait until you see the machines for collecting your deposit back on bottles and cans at the grocery store.  It automatically aligns the barcode with the reader, then sorts and/or crushes without human intervention.  Take your slip to the cash register, and buy more bottles.
