Fujitsu's hi-tech trolley
Juniper Foo | Aug 03, 2005
Let's hope the next time you do your grocery shopping, your Internet fridge doesn't have a wireless conversation with your shopping cart about your weight, and instructs it to beep loudly every time you reach for a Ben & Jerry's. That little scenario may come true faster than you think, given that Fujitsu's U-Scan Shopper is about to trial in Australian supermarkets. For now, thankfully, the high-tech pushcart, empowered by a wireless mounted touch-screen computer, simply adds up items as these are loaded, alerts you to specials in each aisle, and keeps tabs on what you bought on your last trip to the grocery.
