Abstract
This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling facilities to implement techniques to determine when users are in possession of items when located within and/or exiting the facilities. For instance, a system may use one or more sensors of a facility and of a mobile apparatus to determine interactions with items in a facility. The system may determine confidence scores for the interactions and may direct the user to varying checkout experiences based on the confidence scores associated with virtual carts of their items and may enable additional user experiences and interactions with the facility and items of the facility to improve customer experiences.
