Dyson Launches AR Vacuuming App CleanTrace for Enhanced Cleaning Visualization
The app, exclusive to Gen5detect vacuum and newer iPhones, uses augmented reality to show uncleaned areas, launching in June 2024.
- Dyson introduces CleanTrace, an AR feature in the MyDyson app, to help users see spots missed during vacuuming.
- CleanTrace requires a lidar-equipped iPhone and a special clamp to attach the phone to Dyson's Gen5detect vacuum.
