The document discusses a future augmented reality game that helps promote gut health. An intestinal sensor would transmit real-time microbiome information to the game. The game would then use computer vision to identify foods in the user's environment that could boost their gut health. Prior to the game's launch, people on average consumed 100 species of foods, but that number has now jumped to over 500 species on average globally since the game. Low-cost genetic sequencing will enable direct-to-consumer microbiome testing and discoveries about diet, gut microbes, and health.
