Smart Cart follows you when grocery shopping

Thanks to smart technology, the face of the routine weekly grocery shop may be rather different in the future.

What do you think about being followed by your trolley around a store as you grab your weekly essentials?

It’s a far cry from worn-out plastic versions or those with wheels that persist in twisting and making a shopping trip more like a work-out.

This high-tech version features XBox360 Kinect sensors from Microsoft. According to Wired, the ‘Smarter Cart’ is equipped with a Windows 8 tablet attached to its handlebars and a UPC scanner, as well as containing voice capabilities to interact with the shopper.
