Oh yes, AI image recognition absolutely gives me that tricorder vibe. I have a friend at my community garden with some apps like that and it is so much like an away mission when she quickly makes an ID and tells us what to do with that information.
scan "This is honey suckle it needs to be removed."
scan "This is an indigenous cone flower, it will attract pollinators"
Hrm... If going for things that could magically be in it, I think the following:
- Multi-meter
- Oscilloscope / Logic Analyzer / Signal Generator
- Basic microscope
- UV/Vis/IR spectrophotometer/spectrometer (possibly part of an imaging system)
- Geiger counter / dosimeter
- Gas Chromatograph (maybe use some kind of forcefield instead of physical column)/ Mass Spectrometer
- EMR transceiver
- Onboard reprogrammable logic circuitry (allows for arbitrary signal routing and data transformations)
I had to add this after I found out it was real.
