Regular-look eyeglasses can monitor chewing

Rui Zhang, Oliver Amft · 2016

We monitor chewing using 3D-printed eyeglasses with surface Electromyography (EMG) and skull vibration sensors integrated at the eyeglasses frame. We demonstrate the feasibility of recording chewing of different foods using the prototype. Users can explore the effect on EMG and vibration when chewing different food samples, e.g. apples, potato chips, and the system's ability to identify food categories. The prototype showed promising results detecting chewing and compensating for non-chewing activities.
