Shopping cart of the future

How does the shopping cart of the future look like. Media Cart Holdings tried to show it to us.

Media Cart Holdings Inc. developed the future shopping cart. The added value of this cart are enormous so they say. A few examples of why the shopping cart has a bright future.

For consumers:

  1. The shopping cart adds experience during shopping.
  2. The shopping cart helps consumers to shop efficiently and find the products they want fast.
  3. Consumers don't have to stand in line any more.
  4. The shopping cart will end all mass advertising and will only see advertisements which are relevant.

Organizations:

  1. They will have with the shopping cart a new, efficient and customer friendly way to promote the products.

Retailers:

  1. More customer loyalty by making shopping easier and more customer focussed.

So what can the shopping cart do?

Media Cart's smart cart can take your shopping list and display where the items are in the store, give instant price checks and more. CEO media Cart Steve Carpenter

This means:

  • Download your shopping list onto your shopping card and it will show you the way.
  • Speak to your shopping card and ask for products you look for and it will show you the way and even the prices.
  • Have a direct overview of the prices you look for.
  • Scan your products and when you leave the supermarket the shopping cart is weight and when everything is all right you just leave. Payment is automated.

The carts have been "ruggedized" for the combat zones of shops. They use materials which are also used in the American military. See the movie about this card on the website of Mediacart. Question...do you think technology used like this will be a success and would you use it. I would but I think I am not really the target group for this :-)
