- As people gear up for their annual Autumn Clean, Dyson reveals a new way to perfect your vacuuming with an Augmented Reality (AR) tool that ensures no spot is missed
- In-depth study of cleaning behaviours shows that users habitually overestimate the time they spend cleaning and underestimate how thoroughly they vacuum their home
- The Dyson CleanTrace™ and Dyson Gen5detect™ vacuum combine to make the invisible visible – identifying areas missed and showing proof of cleanliness right on your phone
Cleaning can be a thankless task. As you head towards the cleaning finish line, you may think you can’t go wrong, yet amid navigating chair legs and under furniture, moving between rooms and sidestepping our furry friends, it’s easy to inadvertently miss areas, or repeatedly vacuum the same spot, reducing efficacy and wasting time.
Taking inspiration from the systematic cleaning approach of the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ robotic vacuum cleaner, the Dyson CleanTrace™ helps users to clean more methodically by providing real-time AR visualisations of where they have cleaned and the spots they have missed, removing the guesswork and solving the have-I-cleaned-there-yet quandary.
The Dyson CleanTrace™ brings together a combination of technologies for the most powerful, intelligent and thorough clean. LiDAR technology from a user’s phone allows the Dyson CleanTrace™ to map your room and overlays cleaning pathways using AR, showing you where you have cleaned and what you have missed. When you’ve finished cleaning, you can scan the room with your phone to identify gaps so you never miss a spot. The existing technology within the Dyson Gen5detect then acoustically senses and counts the dust particles, showing proof of a deep clean.
“We realised that we could all learn a thing or two from the methodical cleaning approach of our robot vacuums. Unlike most humans doing the cleaning, Dyson robots know where they are in the room, where they have been, and where they have yet to go. With the Dyson CleanTrace™, we add this extra layer of cleaning intelligence to the Gen5detect vacuum. It gives you the ability to see where you have and haven’t cleaned, which, combined with our on-board particle sensing technology, gives proof that the floor is truly clean.”
