NU6 Idea 6: The "Calorfie" App

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of living a healthy lifestyle that revolves around diet an exercise.   For most people on a weight loss or maintenance program, many approaches both scientific and alternative/holistic have been developed and have proven their effectiveness all in the same objective of preserving one's well-being.

This mobile app I have in mind is inspired by countless others which is useful for calorie counting.   While most methods require manual entry of the food item, the serving or weight/ volume measurements and the numbers that go with it, I would just like to develop an app wherein you take the photo of the food item from all sides and the calories are already computed instantly!  You don't even have to key in what dish it is as the app will instantly recognize or detect the dish itself down to its individual ingredients and its calorie content per ingredient, broken down from its total calorie content for that particular serving.

This may seem far-fetched but given the pace of technology available, this may just be on hand in the near future.  4
