For those of you wishing to have a real-life Tricorder, like the ones they use on Star Trek, you’re in luck.
The SCiO is the world’s first affordable molecular sensor, one that easily fits in the palm of the hand of whoever’s using it. With a tiny spectrometer, it enables users to get instant – and relevant – information about the chemical make-up of pretty much anything you scan.
There are a number of purposes the device can be used for, including getting nutritional facts on food, seeing the quality of cooking oil, analyzing soil and hydroponic solutions and more.
Consumer Physics, Inc. launched the KickStarter not too long ago, and the device has already seen tremendous success, with $407,000+ raised with 44 days to go – over double its original goal of $200,000.
Those interested in this high-tech device can still pre-order it on the KickStarter page before it ships this December. If you’re a Trekkie, you’ll want to jump on this.
