calorieco is a hightech device that uses light reflection technology to offer accurate and expeditious calorie information so as to determine the nutritional values of any food. all you have to do is place your plate in the boxshaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food there.once its done analyzing the various foods in your meal, calorieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an led display. according to panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and similar food. calorieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your personal digital assistant, so you can access it whenever you need.panasonic said that its invention is aimed at people going on a diet and diabetes(糖尿病) sufferers, both of whom make up a sizable market. unfortunately, youll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own calorieco, as the device presented at ceatec is just a model. its scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款可以快速准确提供食物热量信息的最新设备。1whats special about the
