See the unseen with hyperspectral imaging | Abi Ramanan | TEDxEastEnd

What if your smartphone could help you to save energy, reduce food waste, diagnose life-threatening diseases earlier and generally make better decisions for people and the planet? This is the future imagined by Abi Ramanan, a social entrepreneur interested in applying exponential technologies to the global food system to make it more resilient and sustainable. Her company ImpactVision (one word) enables people to interpret the world in a new light using hyperspectral imaging, to see beyond the borders of human vision.
A respected campaigner and socially-driven entrepreneur, Abi has already founded two food based social enterprises in London which tackle unemployment, gender equality and child hunger. Her new venture ImpactVision takes the concept ‘beyond borders’ even further with the power of hyperspectral imaging.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

This is fantastic Abi

I'll take a pair of glasses with embedded wireless hyperspectral camera. And accompanying Android app.

It is now the future....any updates

[@mikemorgan1021]

Neat idea, if you can actually get a phone camera to do hyperspectral at an affordable cost. I don't see how the avocado example would help solve the food waste problem. Everyone will just buy the fresher avocados and leave the older ones on the shelf to spoil...sometimes ignorance is bliss.
