Self Service Smart Weighing Scale is the best thing to happen to supermarkets

When I hear about weighing scales, I feel uneasy because everytime I step one the numbers only seem to have shot up from the last time! Fortunately, the scale I'm gonna talk about isn't the one that adorns bathrooms or gyms, but ones that you find at the super market to weigh your groceries. This is a self service weighing scale that will eliminate the trouble of remembering the number tag for your groceries at the market. Fraunhofer Institute for Information and Data Processing IITB in Karlsruhe are the ones who have developed this ingenius machine. The innovative device automatically recognizes the item like fruit or vegetable kept on it and pops up the most appropriate on its touchscreen interface so that you can print out the price label with ease. This isn's magic, it is all the result of a built in intelligent camera which can tell the difference between an orange and apple, as well as the different varieties. And for a while, I was thinking that little people are sitting inside this scale! The self service smart scale is in beta mode at the moment in Europe. The rest of the world will have to wait, but at least we will be getting it kink free.
