Vessyl – The Intelligent Cup
Health-related gadgets are all the rage these days, from smart wristbands to apps that track what you consume.
But a new device from San Francisco-based Mark One, called Vessyl, claims to be able to streamline the process by putting all the technology you need in a cup.
The product can accurately identify your drink, tell you how many calories you are consuming, let you know how hydrated you are, and alert you when it’s time to drink again.
The technology enables the cup to recognise what liquid is poured inside from a catalogue of thousands.
It knows the content and make-up of the drink, and is therefore able to let you know exactly what you are putting into your body.
The cup can then be asked to display a particular set of data to aid you achieve certain goals, such as losing weight or regulating caffeine
The display on the cup only lights up when the cup is tilted, as you would do when you take a drink. The Vessyl will be released soon and costs 159 $. What a cool little gadget.
