About

Consumers spend on average 7-20 minutes per retail visit standing in line. On top of that the retail visiting experience is a static, uninformed experience. Smart Cart changes this. Smart Cart is a cart that knows what items a shopper has placed into it. This enables a platform where both shoppers and retail businesses can revolutionize the way retail shopping is done. Smart Cart does this by utilizing three different sensors along with the cutting technology in the Motorola Moto Modz phone. 1. The RFID sensor is used to identify which items are in the cart 2. A low energy weight sensor (we used a Estimote beacon as a proxy for this) to ensure that the cart only has items per the RFID registration. 3. A light sensor that detects when an item is added to the cart to turn on the others sensors (we used a temperature sensor as a proxy for this) The user will have an application that connects to the Smart Cart which then allows them to perform the payment process completely without any interaction with others. In addition, the application could uncover potential savings or intelligent recommendations in real time as the user places items in the Smart Cart. Also, the Motorola ModZ could use wifi to identify in-store location to be able to guide the user within the store.
