New unbelievable Device Will Revolutionise The Way We Interact With The World

SCiO is a tiny handheld scanner that can tell you whether the apple you are about to bite into is fresh; what chemicals are in the pills your doctor prescribed you; how many calories your meal has, or, quite simply, whether your plant needs more water. It’s an affordable handheld sensor the size of a flash drive, and it can analyze the composition of any matter, including fruit or medicine— sounds like it couldn’t be true. Well, it is. SCiO was created by an Israeli company known as Consumer Physics, and given a successful Kickstarter campaign, it may well be on the brink of drastically changing the way consumers interact with products. A truly mind-blowing technology that was presented only very recently on Kickstarter, with the goal of raising $200,000. It has already shattered all expectations. Indeed with With $2M already raised and more dollars flowing in every minute, it’s fair to say that SCiO will turn out to be one of Kickstarter’s epic success stories.

“Smartphones give us instant answers to questions like where to have dinner, what movie to see, and how to get from point A to point B, but when it comes to learning about what we interact with on a daily basis, we’re left in the dark”  - Dror Sharon, CEO of Consumer Physics, the Israeli company behind SCiO.

SCiO works using a molecular scanner, which uses optics to identify the unique “fingerprint” of the molecular composition of any of matter. While molecular scanners are used in labs around the world, they are bulky pieces of equipment that are not mass-market oriented.
Consumer Physics has taken the technology and designed SCiO from the ground up to be mass-produced at low cost. When infrared light is shined on a sample, it excites the molecules and makes them vibrate in a unique way. The wavelength-dependent light absorption of the molecules creates optical signatures according to an object’s chemical composition.
SCiO transmits that information to the cloud using Bluetooth technology, where the sample is analyzed and a reading is sent back to the users within seconds— displaying it on their smartphone.
