Abstract
Point of sale (POS) systems and methods are described. The POS device detects, based on sensor data, a position of at least a portion of a user relative to a position of the POS device. The POS device includes a housing and a base. The POS device determines an adjustment to the position of the POS device applicable to the housing of the POS device. The adjustment causes the housing to rotate about an axis that is parallel to a surface of the housing and directs the POS device to face the position of at least the portion of the user. The POS device actuates at least one actuator to perform the adjustment.
