haha! Dont be so mean, its my first creation :P.
Its meant to be for counting large quantities of small items such as food-articles. You put 1 item in and the “computer” registers how much it weights, then you put in all items and it will tell you how many there is (so you dont have to count them manually). I dont really know why you want so many buttons, but its just a first handout so all of that will be corrected in the near future… =)

You’re on the right path. Some shopping carts like this do already exist. I think they are trying them in pilot programs.
What I would like is the ability to type in an item (like “peanut butter”) and have the cart show me a map of the store and where the peanut butter is. This would be especially helpful when visiting new stores or new towns.

thanks for the feedback, please check out the updated version “inverterare3”…
For a system like the one you’re describing dswavely to work, the store itself would need a separate system that knows where everything is. When you arrive at the store with this machine you could download the stores individual map and then be able to ask it for the position of various products. Until we’ve seen such a system (or similar) implemented it would be hard to make this machine able to do that. But there’ll surely be some changes made to the store-concept in the future and then it can be put in to perhaps later models of this cart… =)

You’re right Noddan88 that the store would need to know where everything is and that the cart and store system would have to be tied together and be updated regularly.
Most stores have been thinking of their shelf space in terms of “real estate” with position and number of “turns” per item determining the value. 2D “Planograms” have existed for decades.
Stores are starting to grasp the value of understanding the 3D aspects of both their customers and their product placements too. The cart is an integral part of this evolving buying experience.
Yay for progress!!

Maybe there could be a card with all the info of where everything is, and the put it in the cart’s computer. Then, if it needs to show you where something is, the computer would just read the place where it is on the info card.

Sorry, deleted the last comment by dswavely by mistake… here it is again:
“That’s a good idea tomy – especially to build customer loyalty. If each customer registered and received a card, they could plan their shopping visit at an online site, it would make their trips shorter and more efficient.
The card could be updated at the store weekly with a special coupon for the customer as a reward.
Another way would be to keep all the carts updated through a wireless network in the store. That might be better if the store made frequent changes.” //dswavely

Is this a shopping cart that you press buttons to tell it which way to go? Hahahaha!

Thanks Noddan88! I would never be able to remember what I said :P
hehe… luckily I had it in my inbox as well :P
Yes, that would be good…
