The smart cup uses sensors to measure water volume. It syncs data with health apps on smartphones. This helps users track daily hydration goals. The product includes a lightweight, durable design. It is made from eco-friendly materials. The battery lasts one week on a single charge.
Sony’s CEO, Kenichiro Yoshida, shared thoughts on the product. He said the cup aims to improve daily wellness through technology. He emphasized Sony’s focus on merging innovation with practical solutions. The company plans to release the product in early 2025. Pricing details remain undisclosed.
The idea for the smart cup came from rising demand for health-focused gadgets. Sony’s research team noticed people often forget to drink enough water. The cup solves this by automating reminders. It also personalizes suggestions based on user activity levels.
The device works with iOS and Android systems. Users can customize settings via the app. Options include adjusting reminder frequency or setting temperature preferences. The cup’s inner layer resists stains and odors. It is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
Sony tested the product with over 1,000 volunteers. Testers reported better hydration habits after two weeks. Some mentioned improved energy levels. Others praised the cup’s ease of use.
Production will begin later this year. The product will first launch in Japan and the United States. Sony plans global expansion by mid-2025. More details will be shared closer to the release date.
