MIGALO Group's DXYZ Launches Face Recognition Vending Machine "Just Your Face, Vending Machine." – Demonstration, Special Website, and Video Released, Advancing Proof-of-Concept for Social Implementation

DXYZ Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Sei Nakanishi; hereinafter "DXYZ"), a group company of Migalo Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Sei Nakanishi; Securities Code: 5535; hereinafter "Migalo HD"), a company that creates new value by integrating "digital" and "real," has announced the launch of "Just Your Face, Vending Machine.," a face recognition vending machine utilizing its face recognition ID platform "FreeiD." This initiative marks the initial phase of realizing a new purchasing experience through face recognition, starting with small-scale demonstrations.

This experience was first unveiled at "RetailTech JAPAN 2026" held in March 2026, where it garnered significant interest from visitors. It is also scheduled to be exhibited at "SHINAGAWA TECH SHOWCASE" in April 2026, aiming to expand opportunities for many people to learn "what kind of future is about to begin."

Furthermore, to more clearly convey the world of "Just Your Face, Vending Machine.," a special website and two types of videos have been released. The first is a demonstration video illustrating the process from face registration to payment, and the second is a brand movie titled "With Just Your Face, You Can Do Anything." featuring actor Tomoya Maeno, humorously expressing the world of "FreeiD."

■ Background of the Development of the Face Recognition Vending Machine "Just Your Face, Vending Machine."

DXYZ, part of the Migalo Group, has been developing the face recognition ID platform "FreeiD," which enables "the world to be connected with just your face®" through a single face registration. It has provided face recognition services in various aspects of daily life, such as entry and exit at condominiums and offices, and identity verification at theme parks.

Furthermore, we are advancing the commercialization of "FreeiD Pay," a payment service for stores, aiming to create a world where people can freely go out "with just their face" without needing keys, wallets, or smartphones. In addition to initiatives "inside" stores, by collaborating with FreeiD-introduced condominiums, offices, and theme parks located "outside" stores, we aim to realize a world where the entire flow of daily life is connected "with just your face."

The newly announced "Just Your Face, Vending Machine." is a new challenge in the external purchasing domain, an extension of these efforts, and was born as an accessible touchpoint to experience purchasing with face recognition. Vending machines are prevalent in daily life and offer the most intuitive way to experience the convenience of face recognition. Therefore, this initiative is positioned as the first step in verifying the value of face recognition payment "outside" stores.

Moving forward, DXYZ of the Migalo Group will continue to promote the social implementation of safer and more comfortable purchasing experiences centered on face recognition technology. By collaborating with FreeiD-introduced condominiums, offices, and theme parks, we aim to realize a world where people can freely go out "with just their face" without needing keys, wallets, or smartphones.

■ Background of Video Production

To help intuitively understand the purchasing experience through face recognition, two types of videos were produced for "Just Your Face, Vending Machine."

The first is a HOW-TO video that directly captures the actual usage scene. It illustrates the entire process from face registration, credit card registration, and PIN code setup using the FreeiD app, to face recognition, payment, and product retrieval at the vending machine. This structure allows even first-time users to quickly understand "how to use it" and "how easy it is." The production uses simple, highly visible visuals to convey the image of a future where one can "buy hands-free" naturally in their daily life.

The second is a brand movie titled "With Just Your Face, You Can Do Anything." featuring actor Tomoya Maeno. Through a humorous story, a rabbit mascot struggling while surrounded by children at a shopping mall suddenly removes its head in front of a vending machine and purchases a drink using face recognition, charmingly expressing the world of FreeiD.

Through Mr. Maeno's performance, the video conveys the familiarity and surprise of the face recognition experience, depicting the "future convenience" that suddenly appears in everyday life. As this initiative is still in its small-scale demonstration phase, the primary goal is to broadly communicate the experience and worldview through the videos, and to gauge reactions and expectations. By using the HOW-TO video to facilitate "understanding of usage" and the brand movie to promote "immersion in the worldview," the videos are structured to convey the future where one can freely go out "with just your face" from multiple perspectives.
