GoCart is one of Google’s Android Developer Challenge winner
GoCart, created by Big in Japan team, finally becoming one of the winner of the Google’s Android Developer Challenge (ADC). The application is aimed to help consumer in order to buy anything online, as well as offline. For more list of the winner, take a look at ADC gallery. Anyway, here is the description from Big in Japan official site:
GoCart informs the shopper. It bridges the gap between shopping online and shopping at the store.
With GoCart users can scan the barcode of any product using their phone’s built-in camera. Once scanned, it will search for all the best prices on the internet. Additionally, it will search through the inventories of nearby, local stores using the phone’s built-in GPS.Unlike the other price comparison web sites available, GoCart solves its problem simply and elegantly. In a mobile environment, less is more. Users use their phones in short bursts. They pull it out, check some information and quickly put it away. Clutter and superfluous information are the enemy in a mobile setting. For this reason, GoCart performs all searches by the barcode ID exclusively.
Typing in long ambiguous titles is not necessary. Skip the search page and be confident that you are getting results for the exact product you are holding in your hand. Who wants to type long titles such as Cannon PowerShot SD870IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) into a phone?
We would like to congratulation the team for the winning. May it be implemented in Google Android very soon and can be used for the sake of consumer satisfaction. Here we embed how the app works:
