    Abstract: A technology for managing space utilization using self-adjusting inventory slots is described. In an example embodiment, a system comprises a shelving unit including a shelf, and a shelf adjustment system including an electronic display strip extending parallel with the shelf of the shelving unit. The electronic display strip may display a first visual representation of a first adjustable inventory slot horizontally adjacent to a second visual representation of a second adjustable inventory slot, the first visual representation indicating a first portion of the shelf as the first adjustable inventory slot for a first item, and the second visual representation indicating a second portion of the shelf as the second adjustable inventory slot for a second item.

    Abstract: A technology for virtualized container opening and optimized item placement, and in an example includes a receiving, from an augmented reality device, a first image of user view capturing a storing surface of a storage space; receiving an input identifying a first item; retrieving item data associated with the first item based on the input; determining, from the one or more placement regions, a set of one or more viable placement regions for placing the first item on the storing surface based on an arrangement model and the item data associated with the first item; generating overlay placement data describing the set of one or more viable placement regions; transmitting the overlay placement data to the augmented reality device; and instructing the augmented reality device to superimpose one or more virtual items in the storage space in the user view based on the overlay placement data.
