DIET SENSOR SCIO FOOD SCANNER
RAZER PROJECT VALERIE
Yes, we all have made diet plans but could not successfully follow it without cheating a little. Most of the time we do not even know what our food is made of. Trying to track what you’ re eating is important for the dieters, but it’ s even more important for those with adverse medical conditions like Diabetes. To save all our diet plans diet sensor comes to our rescue. This little gadget is capable of scanning the chemical makeup of the food or drink at hand, analyzing whether or not it’ s something you should eat given your dietary conditions. It can only do one piece of the food at a time and has to use a multistep app to do the job, but it’ s kind of astounding that it even works in the first place. Price: $ 1000- $ 2000
We all love video games and we do not like to settle for anything but the best. Project Valarie is the world’ s first laptop to have threebuilt in monitors. It basically combines three 4K displays into a single 17.3-inch notebook. The three screens will have a total of resolution of 11520 x 2160 pixels. That’ s enough to give gamers a true immersive experience. The Project Valerie notebook is powered by an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card and a top-end Intel processor. Project Valerie looks straight out of a sci-fi movie, but we never know whether Razer will bring its concept laptop to the market.
