Food Scanner

Food Scanner is an iPhone app with optional wearable companion support. It also works standalone on iPhone.

The app turns a food photo into an AI-assisted nutrition overlay with estimated calories, macros, and concise pros and cons. Users can capture from the iPhone camera, choose a photo from the library, or send an image from the optional wearable companion.

Supported Modes and Models

Optional Wearable Companion (Google Glass XE)

The optional Google Glass XE companion captures a food image and sends it to the iPhone app over local Wi-Fi or iPhone Personal Hotspot. Analysis runs on iPhone, and results are displayed back on the companion display.

Requires: Google Glass XE, ADB on a computer, and an iPhone Personal Hotspot. Connect Glass to the iPhone hotspot before opening Food Scanner.

Install path (website → GitHub)

  1. Download the companion APK: foodscanner-glass-companion-v1.0.0.apk
  2. Follow the step-by-step Google Glass XE installation guide (ADB install, hotspot, connection check).
  3. On Glass, open the scan food command and tap the touchpad to launch — do not rely on saying “Ok Glass.”
  4. After the camera opens, wait about one second, then tap again to capture.
