Dyson’s $499 AI toothbrush with a camera
As summarised in the news release:
Dyson CameraJet™ technology
- Dyson CameraJet™uses imaging, machine learning and precision fluid dynamics to identify gaps between teeth and deliver a targeted precision jet.
- The 100k pixel micro camera works with light and camera strobing at 257Hz, just out of sequence with the brush head movement.
- The brush head moves nearly 1,000 times per second, supported by variable sonic, non-stall brushing technology.
- The dual brush head combines different bristle types to support surface cleaning and gentle gumline cleaning.
- Each brush head contains an RFID tag, enabling the product to recognise when a brush head is connected and alert users when it needs replacing.
- Dyson CameraJet™ is Wi-Fi connected at 2.4GHz, enabling users to watch as they brush through the MyDyson™ app.
