Idea #2 - Interactive Shopping Trolley

The ability of an individual to purchase a product is essentially vital within what is widely considered a post-modern capitalist society.With this view in mind, it was decided that a piece of technology that eliminated any barrier to shopping would be considered useful. For example, older people are generally less mobile and something which removed the need to be mobile would be advantagous. Therefore, we developed the idea of a magical shopping trolley, a device which would give a much richer shopping experience:


It was agreed that the device should be familiar to the user. Thus, a shopping trolley was chosen. The user would interact with the device via its handle bar, an area where a lot of effort will be put into its design. Everyone in the team gave lots of input into the features that could make this idea a really useful piece of technology which will be incoporated into the design if we chose to develop it further.
