BURP!: A smart belt that adjusts to your tummy after meals has made its CES debut.
The days of adjusting your belt after a big meal while trying to be as discreet as possible could be over now that a self-adjusting smart belt was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Called Belty, its electric-powered motor is hiding in the buckle and knows when to relieve you of the constriction brought on by gluttonous indulgence, according to Gizmodo, who spotted the object.
Belty connects to a corresponding app, which allows you to preset your preferences as to whether you prefer just enough tension to keep your pants up or a corset-like level of constriction that comes as a consequence of that last slice of cake.
Photos of the app indicate that Belty takes waist measurements, but since French parent company Emiota has been quiet on the forefront, it's not clear whether Belty is a tool of acceptance or of shaming inspiration to tone down your eats.
Although the price has yet to be revealed, a company representative at CES told Mashable that it will be in the luxury product price range.
