TellSpec: define the components of food, calories and all the rest for 3 minutes

Honestly, when I saw the news about the food analyzer which is capable of determining the composition of dishes as well as on the fly to determine calorie dishes, I thought it was one of the design concepts that appear in a variety of literally every day, and very quickly disappear from the field view.

But no, TellSpec - serious company from Canada that really works on a new technology to determine calorie dishes, as well as to determine the composition of the food. TellSpec team working on your project is not the first year.

Today Habré already publish news about system using spectroscopy to determine the composition of the blood. Here we see a similar, but direct contact with the dish is not required.

Here's a video with a demonstration of the prototype:



Operation of the system is the emission of light waves, reception of the reflected radiation, and of spectroscopic analysis by appropriate software. Data processing is performed in the "cloud", where the processed data comes already on the smartphone user, with the withdrawal of visual information: the components of food and its caloric content.

Ideally, the company sees the project as a small device that is placed on a standard key ring, compatible with mobile devices based on Android and iOS.

Now you can pre-order the device (its price - 320 US dollars), and the price includes a one-year subscription to the service data. Then have to renew the subscription - either 7, 99 US dollars per month, or 69, 99 per year. Charged analyzer via USB.
