Eyewear System for Monitoring and Modifying Nutritional Intake

This invention describes smart glasses designed to monitor your eating habits. They feature a small camera that automatically takes pictures of your food as you consume it. The system then analyzes these images to identify the type and amount of food, and can even provide suggestions to help you modify your diet.

Why it matters: Filed in 2014, before the widespread adoption and significant advancements in AI-powered computer vision and object recognition. Modern machine learning models are far more capable of accurately identifying food types and estimating quantities from images, making the core analysis feasible on a smaller, more power-efficient device.
