We are used to our phones do practically everything. And today they go far beyond what they were conceived, when Martin Cooper made the first mobile call from a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X back in 1983. Now our mobiles are not only able to communicate instantly with any part of the world, but They can even reveal the calories of a food.
The integration of Artificial Intelligence and the permanent connectivity of our mobiles work the miracle of offering us information that would otherwise be more tedious or late to obtain. Huawei phones provide the user to know the calories of any food in a matter of seconds, in addition to information about its weight and other data.
How to know the calories
The recognition of the calories of an object is integrated in the camera of Huawei phones with EMUI 9 and higher, since it makes use of AI and HiVision technology to achieve it. The first method to access calorie detection is at your fingertips, such as a shortcut right in the search bar that appears when you slide down from the top of the screen. The other method is to activate the camera application and click on the same icon that appears in the upper left of the camera options.
Accept permissions
Once the option is pressed, if it is the first time we enter, we will have to accept several permissions so that the intelligent object recognition function can access the camera. Once done we must click on the icon that offers information about food.
Aim and shoot
Now we just have to aim at the desired object, keeping the phone steady and making sure we have good lighting to make identification more effective. Instantly we will get the desired information, so we will have on hand revealing data of foods such as their calories, weight or type of product.
More details
If it is an elaborate dish, we can even get the recipe in real time. By clicking on the image of the identified food we will access more additional and precise information about its chemical composition and other data of interest. In the example above, we see how it identifies the fruit perfectly and fields such as cholesterol or saturated fats are left blank.
