Chinese “smart” chopsticks tell the calorie content of foods
Future chopsticks may not only be able to detect if food is unsafe to eat, but also, based on the data collected, warn if you have had too much meat and too little nutrients in recent meals.
That is the vision Chinese internet giant Baidu has for its so-called “smart chopsticks”, according to people familiar with the still in-development product.
Submitted in November and only made public until this week, the application contains images of the base module that came with the smart chopsticks, previously shown in video demonstrations.
The images also show what is likely the app's interface, which lets users choose among four food categories – general cooked dish, drink, fruit, or meat – before testing.
The results page tells users, for instance, that the food tested is an apple that most likely was imported from the US, and that it contains 52 calories per 100g serving. (MTI)
