This invention describes a mobile device or system designed to identify and measure food. One version is a handheld device with a probe that inserts into food, using a special light sensor (spectroscopic sensor) to analyze its contents. Another version combines augmented reality glasses with a camera to identify food, linked to a handheld device for further analysis.
Why it matters: Since 2018, augmented reality eyewear has matured significantly, making the system described in claims 2 and 3 more feasible. Additionally, advancements in AI and machine learning have greatly improved the ability to analyze complex spectral and image data for food identification and quantification.
