Clothing Camera Calculates Calories Based on Photos of Food

It seems like we’re constantly being bombarded by ways to eat better and resist the urge to binge on stuff like Oreo cookie butter. Now, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are in the process of developing clothing cameras that could help with portion control by analyzing the food you’re eating.

Tiny cameras are embedded into your clothing and take photos of your food whenever you take a bite to eat. Using 3D-modeling technology, the cameras relay nutritional value and calorie count.

While the high-tech clothes are still in development, this could prove to be a useful tool for those wanting to keep track of their daily diet.
