When Chaotic Moon Labs debuted the Kinect-powered Board of Awesomeness (http://www.gizmag.com/board-of-awesomeness/21087/) — and its mind-reading offspring, the Board of Imagination (http://www.chaoticmoon.com/labs/chaotic-moon-labs-board-of-imagination/) — that was apparently just a preview of a more practical product the company had in the works. Grocery store chain Whole Foods recently gave a demonstration of Chaotic Moon's latest device, which uses the same technology in a self-propelled shopping cart (http://www.gizmag.com/kinect-grocery-cart/21714/). The 'Smarter Cart,' as it's been named, can detect what items are placed in it, match those to a shopping list, and even follow shoppers around the store on its own.
