Slimming Spectacles

Japanese inventors have designed a hi-tech device that claims to help people lose weight involving a pair of ‘slimming spectacles’ that trick the brain into thinking that food is 50% bigger than it really is. The virtual tasting headgear screens a larger-looking image of the food in front of the wearer and supposedly suppresses the appetite by tricking the brain’s perception of food size. After a trial, researchers claim those who wore the food goggles, ate 9.3% less than those who didn’t try out the specs. Another tool the gadget boasts is the ability to manipulate the smell and taste of the food.
