At this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where tech companies showcase their latest innovations every January, one concept stood out to me among all others: a compact, flip-open camera designed not to capture memories or take a great photo of your lunch, but to monitor your meals. The Amazfit V1TAL Food Camera sits beside your plate during dinner and automatically logs what you eat, how much, and even how quickly you consume it.
Let's not mince words (so to speak). This strikes me as a very weird concept. But at the same time, I'm now reaching the age where health and nutrition are becoming important things to pay attention to. But it's not like I'm ever going to start keeping a notebook of everything I eat, so maybe this might actually be useful. Maybe it might even save my life...
