SCiO Pocket Molecular Sensor

May-02-14 The SCiO Pocket Molecular Sensor can identify the chemical makeup of an item in two seconds—from the nutritional content of food to whether or not a plant needs water.

The SCiO spectrometer gathers information about an item's chemical makeup in the same way as the larger, professional models: by shining near-infrared light on the object and then analyzing the light that is reflected off the excited molecules. In the case of the SCiO, however, the data is sent via an iOS or Android app to the cloud, where advanced algorithms analyze the information. The results then appear on the user's smartphone in real time.

The SCiO will come with apps for analyzing food, plants and medicines, and the development team has plans to provide an Application Development Kit that would allow people to create their own apps and expand the database.
