Grocery Shopping With Kinect
Whole Foods will begin testing Kinect-powered shopping carts that makes buying groceries way more fun.
As reported by Geek Wire, Microsoft today showed an early prototype of the cart that includes a mounted Kinect camera and monitor. Kinect recognizes what items you place in cart, automatically checks items off your list, and even follows you around the store.
The prototype is only a few weeks old, but Microsoft hopes to have any issues resolved before they're out in the wild.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
