So, kitty gets a new technology? Well, that seems to be the case with the upcoming Bistro (an endeavor of Mu-Chi Sung), which is touted as a ‘smart feeder’ that utilizes the presumably first-of-its-kind cat facial-recognition technology.
The tech ambit is used for monitoring your pet cat on a remote basis, with the live video feed being send to the owner via a dedicated smartphone app. And what’s more; the Bistro also has the incredible capability to gauge the nutrient intake levels of your feline friend – which further allows you to plan out its regulated diet.
The live feed (which is achieved via a built-in camera) directly allows you keep an eye on your cat from anywhere on the planet, whether you are in office or on a vacation. In other words, you can watch over any odd behavior on the part of your furry companion, and react in case of an emergency situation – like calling your trusted friend or home-keeper.
But it is the measuring capacity of the Bistro that arguably stands out as an example of contemporary health-tracking technology. To that end, you can easily access your pet’s health report (includes both track appetite and weight change) through the aforementioned app, and thus work out the apt portion of food to be consumed by your cat on a daily basis. Moreover, there is a social media side to the whole affair – which allows you to share updates, images and videos of the progression with other similarly interested cat-owners.
Lastly, the good news is – Bistro is already available for pre-order by virtue of its successful Indiegogo campaign. As for pricing, it is expected to range from $200 – $220.
