Shopping 2.0: a small glimpse (part 1)

Here are some interesting (techie) things happening on shopping front -

1. Amazon Dash is a small hardware that helps capture any shippable item into a 'Dash' via scanning that product's bar code or saying the product name to the device, which can then be viewed as a list on Desktop or mobile device.
The beauty of this device is that you don't have to remember and keep recording your emptying groceries. Just use this device and capture it.





2. Hiku is a similar device as Amazon Dash just that while Amazon Dash ties itself to Amazon Fresh, Hiku has no such association to any marketplace yet.

3. Tesco's virtual store as the name suggests is a virtual store wherein large images of life-size store shelves filled with goods are pasted onto walls and doors. Each good has a small barcode which shoppers can use to take pictures and thus create a goods cart.

"You place an order when you go to work in the morning and can see the items delivered at home when you come home at night," said a spokeswoman for Homeplus.
