One of my favorite things about CES is the opportunity to see wild concept devices. Not all of these are home runs (such as Razer’s AI anime girlfriend speaker), but they’re still fascinating glimpses into what some companies see as the future of consumer tech. Health/fitness brand Amazfit has two such concept devices at CES 2026 — the V1TAL Food Camera and Helio Smart Glasses — and I had the opportunity to try both.
The V1TAL is easily the most polarizing of the two, so let’s start there. I saw the V1TAL behind closed doors at last year’s CES, but this was the first time I could photograph it and see it more thoroughly. As for what it is, it’s exactly as I describe in the headline: an AI camera that watches you while you eat.
