The sensor-enabled cup called Vessyl can perform a detailed analysis of what is inside.
When users pour a drink into the cup and lift it up, the cup's exterior will display the name of the beverage and relevant nutritional info.
If a glass of juice is poured into Vessyl, the cup will show the calorie count and sugar content of the drink.
An accompanying mobile app can display your stats as well as contextual information, such as whether you are close to meeting your protein goal or your caffeine intake, 'Mashable' reported.
Justin Lee, CEO and cofounder of Mark One, the firm behind Vessyl, said the company is talking with manufacturers of popular fitness trackers.
Integrating activity trackers into the platform would better inform a user's hydration level and make the technology smarter.
The device costs USD 99 during the preorder period but will eventually retail for USD 200.
