Abstract
Described in detail herein are systems and methods for providing a live image feed of a physical object in a section within the facility. In exemplary embodiments, physical objects can be disposed in a facility within multiple sections. Image capturing devices and kiosks can also be disposed in the facility. A kiosk can receive a search input string associated with a physical object. The kiosk can transmit the search input string to the central computing system. The central computing system can determine the exact physical location within the section of the facility in which the physical object is supposed to be disposed. The central computing system can determine the closest image capturing device to the exact physical location within the section of the facility in which the physical object is supposed to be disposed. The central computing system can control the determined image capturing device to capture a live video feed of the exact physical location within the section of the facility in which the physical object is supposed to be disposed. The central computing system can switch the input of the kiosk to display the captured live video feed.
