A 'Smart' Cup Shaped Device to Monitor on your Intake

BANGALORE: Calorie alert from a cup through which you consume may sound weird, but Mark One, a San Francisco based company has turned this into reality and developed a smart cup shaped device that accurately identifies your drink and alarm you, when you cross your high calorie count. It alerts you whenever you consume more calories as well.

This smart can be a great manager and help towards managing your weight or regulating your alcohol or caffeine content. The smart cup is named as ‘Vessyl’.

Made of a glass-like material, the cup holds 385 ml of liquid. When a beverage is poured in, text on the side reveals what drink is inside. The sliding lid of the cup is spill proof and it has a non-stick interior, making it easy to clean according to the company.

The cup can measure the caffeine levels inside a drink that has been poured into it, in addition to the sugar, protein, calories and fat inside a drink.
By syncing with an app, it is then able to provide further statistics about what the user has been drinking throughout the day. How it works exactly is being kept a closely-guarded secret by its makers. It will begin shipping in early 2015, media reports said.
