Self Propelled Shopping Cart

A Kinect shopping cart that follows people around the store and can track what they put into it.    The 'smarter cart' as they put it.   Have followed and tested many of these ideas.  Seems there may be many details that still have to be attended to." ... The project is still quite early in development, but Whole Foods has already tested single carts in some stores. The company plans to begin testing multiple carts at one store in Austin, Texas starting next month. If this follows the same trajectory as Chaotic Moon's Boards, don't be too surprised to see the process streamlined even further with a shopping cart that reads a person's brain waves.... "
