Plano firm rolling out shopping cart 'assistants'
So you're in the grocery store, and can't find the salsa or the soap, or you can't remember one ingredient on that recipe you left at home. A Plano company may have solved your shopping dilemma with what they call a super-smart "shopping assistant" on four wheels. Call it a smart shopping cart on steroids. "Cereal hot, ready to eat, or cereal bars, which do you want?" A rolling encyclopedia of food products, recipes, nutrition and price comparisons that changes from aisle to aisle. Or a map that shows where to go for hard-to-find items. "Cereal, ready-to-eat, that's what I want. Now it shows me the map OK. Follow the arrows," said Medicart CEO, Steve Carpenter. All of it displayed in full-motion video on a high-resolution screen.
