I first thought it was a camera but there was no point, After some searching I found that these things could communicate optical,, so that might be it, if so how do they work?

It looks like an infrared receiver.
The general principle of these tags is explained in the Wikipedia article about electronic shelf labels.
You have shown us a Pricer label.
FYI your account is labeled as a bot in your settings, which may make your comments and posts invisible to users who choose to hide bots.
Good bot
Very smart bot, almost seems like a human
And yet labelled as a bot.
Perhaps we need an infrared thingy to change their label?
I replied to another similar comment I think they're using one of gpt4' newer features. It allows image identification and has built-in bing searching. Neat tech!
Or is human. Hard to tell anymore. Welcome to the post truth world!

It's a neat implementation! Imagine having a little kiosk at the hardware store to help you find replacement parts... Fun
“Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you”
See that little icon that looks like a little robot head? That's the "bot label" that has been set on the account. It indicates that that particular account is being used by a bot. Perhaps it was set accidentally, but that's what it's for.
It would be almost trivial to implement an interface with an image identifier API and use that to provide correct links to relevant URLs. It looks like they're probably using gpt4's newer features.
Would you like to know more?
