New smart mirror creates 3D model of naked body to help track fitness and record changes of figure over time

A new $1,395 smart mirror takes a selfie of your naked body to help you track your fitness.


The device, which creator Naked Labs calls the 'world's first home body scanner', takes 3D maps of your body and highlights areas where your figure has changed.


Each scan is stored on an accompanying smartphone app that helps you track your fat percentage and muscle gain over time, the Daily Mail reports.


Some experts have raised concerns that hackers could access the revealing images taken by the mirrors, but Naked Labs says all the data it stores is safely encrypted and detached from customer names.


The Silicon Valley start-up announced last week it had received £11 million ($14 million) in funding led by venture capitalist firm the Founders Fund.


The cash injection has allowed Naked Labs to begin shipping the devices to customers in the US, with the first deliveries expected to arrive in Autumn.


'We have been looking forward to this day for a long time,' said Naked Labs co-founder and CEO Farhad Farahbakhshian.

 

'We are excited to get Naked into people's homes to give them better insight into exactly what's going on in their body and help them work towards their goals.'


The system, dubbed 'Naked' by the company, features two devices.


Health enthusiasts first step onto a scale that doubles up as a turntable, which gradually spins them around while a smart mirror takes a scan.
