The
creators of Snow white probably never had the slightest idea they were
predicting the future. I’m sure you heard the queen say “Mirror, mirror on the
wall. Who is the fairest of them all?”. Now we can say, “Mirror, mirror on the
wall, who is the fittest of them all?
A
group of researchers created a mirror, with a lot of sensors that is literally a
body scanner, called Naked. This mirror measures
the body’s dimensions, weight and muscle mass, all displayed on a 3D avatar
of your physique.
Ed
Sclater, co-founder of Naked Labs, said, “The device, called Naked, is the
first 3D body scanner and fitness tracker designed specifically for people to
use in their homes.”
According
to Livescience:
“Naked
consists of a mirror, scale and smartphone app.”
How This Works
First,
you stand on a scale. The scale is placed in front of the mirror and makes a continuous
360-degree-rotation. During this process, infrared
light scans your entire body. It is recommended you wear a tight sports outfit.
Secondly, when you step down from the scale, your measurement is sent through an app to your
smartphone. It is stored for as long as you want. You can zoom in on any part of your body where you might notice any
incongruence.
Consider
this your personal body tracker.
