Engineers at UCLA have created a "new smart necklace" that monitors every sip, bite, and puff you take. The WearSens choker can assess portions and contents of meals, whether someone is chewing, drinking, or smoking — all by tracking throat vibrations. The device can be set to buzz or send alerts if any undesirable behavior occurs. Like a censorious metal boa constrictor, it's here to circle your neck with confining control and judgment. Fasten me up, I look like a comfortable and trustworthy and enjoyable addition to your life: It beckons.

加州UCLA的研究人员开发出一个能记录用户饮食的智能项链——WearSens。它是一个带有传感器的金属环，能根据由于食物经过食道时的压力来分辨食物，并记录热量和成分，然后关联到手机。如果你摄入的食物量超过了当天的卡路里限额，手机就会震动，提示你“不能再吃啦”！
