Sweeping Map Using Augmented Reality from Dyson

Known for equipping cleaning products with technology Dyson Now it is developing a new feature that uses augmented reality. The feature called CleanTrace, which was announced in June, will allow you to see where in the house has been vacuumed and what has not been vacuumed using augmented reality. The augmented reality feature will be part of the Dyson Gen5detect system.

To use the new feature, you need to use devices such as Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest headset. smart phones will be used. This seems to allow the new feature to reach more users. Because there are not many people with an augmented reality or mixed reality headset, and even if there were, people may not want to sweep the floor with a headset on their heads.

Inspired by robot vacuum cleaners

In the statement made by Dyson, for this system found in robot vacuum cleaners It was announced that it was inspired by the mapping system. Dyson Vice President of Engineering Charlie Parkin his statement “We realized we could learn a thing or two from the robotic vacuum cleaners’ approach to cleaning. Unlike most humans who clean, Dyson robots know where they are in the room, where they’ve been, and where they haven’t gone yet.” he said.

As seen in the demo, the system places where the broom passes It is marked in purple, the color of the company. The aim of cleaning is to cover the entire room in the same color and thus clean the spots that may be overlooked. According to the data, 80% of the cleaning process can be completed in under 10 minutes. When people do their own cleaning, it takes up to 24 minutes. Let’s see if this technology will be able to attract consumers.
