RipeEye
A handheld monocle-shaped scanner that uses bio-electrical impedance to non-destructively measure fruit and flower ripeness.

The Wow Moment
A mango farmer walks through their orchard, clips RipeEye onto a mango stem, and instantly sees through the lens a glowing rose-gold indicator showing 'Harvest in 37 hours for maximum sweetness and shelf life' - they've never tasted the mango, but they know it's perfect.
