Dyson CleanTrace: Using AR for efficient vacuum cleaning
Improve your cleaning habits
Cleaning spaces with a vacuum usually leads to the question, have I cleaned there yet? To help solve this predicament, Dyson is introducing Dyson CleanTrace, which leverages augmented reality technology. This innovation helps users to have a faster and more efficient vacuum cleaning session.
With Dyson CleanTrace, users get real-time AR visualizations of where they have already cleaned and the spots they have missed. Users may access the Dyson CleanTrace software through the MyDyson app. It requires registering a Dyson Gen5detect vacuum cleaner first.
Dyson’s latest offering uses LiDAR technology from a user’s smartphone. It maps the room and overlays cleaning pathways to show users which areas have already been cleaned and which ones have been missed. Users may identify the gaps afterwards by scanning the room with their phones. This existing technology within Dyson Gen5detect then senses and counts the dust particles, showing proof of a deep clean.
The company took into consideration an in-depth study that involved Dyson engineers observing home cleaning around the world for hundreds of hours. The study suggested that users “habitually overestimate” the time they spend cleaning. The study bared that users have a regular habit of cleaning areas that they’ve already gone over.
Dyson has not yet announced the Dyson CleanTrace’s pricing and availability for the Philippines.

With skilled hands and an unnerving eye, she is determined to serve as the voice of victims, unmask a serial killer, and prove that her career-making case from 28 years prior isn’t also her undoing.
The lineup also includes a renowned list of local titles for the Filipino audience:
- The Silent Noise (KD Omalin)

The clip opens with a monologue from Monkey D. Luffy, reminding the Straw Hat crew of how far they’ve come to make it to the gates of the legendary Grand Line.
