IBM?s Augmented Reality App Exposes the Sugary Sins of Breakfast Cereal

As shoppers become more and more concerned with what they are putting into their bodies, the ritual of standing in the aisle staring at the ingredients of an item is common place in grocery stores. It doesn?t help that the ingredients are printed with a teeny tiny typeface.
