Dyson launches electric toothbrush with artificial intelligence capable of capturing oral images in 100 megapixels

The British brand Dyson has formalized its entry into the oral health sector with the launch of a new electric toothbrush that incorporates artificial intelligence. This device also includes an oral irrigator operated by a sophisticated computer vision system, which automates interdental hygiene in real time.

The product was presented during an event held in Paris and represents an expansion of the company's product range, which traditionally focuses on home appliances. James Dyson, founder and chief engineer, stated that this innovation is the result of six years dedicated to research, development, and engineering, aiming to solve the difficulties encountered when using dental floss in hard-to-reach areas of the oral cavity.

The main differentiator of this new electric toothbrush lies in its accessory head, which contains a camera with a 100-megapixel macro lens. This camera is capable of recording and analyzing up to 28 images per second. When the software detects any space or gap between teeth, the system fires a precise jet of water or mouthwash directly at that specific point in just 100 milliseconds, allowing for interdental cleaning simultaneously with brushing.

To ensure maximum accuracy, the Dyson CameraJet employs an AI system trained using a vast database composed of 470 thousand dental images. In addition to fluid application, the device operates with variable sonic oscillation, a feature that allows the bristles to penetrate the interstices and promote deeper hygiene than offered by conventional brushes.

Additionally, the new toothbrush offers high-definition endoscope functionality. Users can access this live viewing feature through integration with the MyDyson app, transmitting the images directly to their mobile phone. The device also supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.

In the international market, the Dyson CameraJet will be available in two distinct colors—ceramic pink and ultra ceramic blue—and is already available for pre-order online. The suggested price is US$ 499.99, which is equivalent to approximately R$ 2,750 in direct conversion, excluding taxes.

The device obtained approval from Anatel at the end of July, confirming that it meets technical requirements and already has legal permission to be marketed in Brazil. However, despite this bureaucratic release, the brand has not yet announced the exact arrival date in Brazilian stores nor established an official price for the country.

Dyson V16 Piston Animal launched in India: Vacuum automatically detects floor type and prevents hair tangling

When purchasing a home cleaning vacuum, consumers typically focus on three key parameters: power, runtime, and cleaning efficiency. Dyson has released the new V16 Piston Animal vacuum in the Indian market. With this launch, the company aims to change the traditional approach, asserting that this appliance is not just a powerful vacuum cleaner but a device equipped with sensors and software capable of determining the floor covering type and adjusting suction power accordingly.

The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is available in India for ₹79,900. It is one of the most powerful cordless vacuums featuring an anti-tangle cord. Furthermore, users can connect it to an app to receive necessary information.

The most outstanding feature of the Dyson V16 Piston Animal is the new All-Floor Cones Sense Cleaner Head. This head is equipped with two brushes whose design is specifically engineered to prevent long hair and pet fur from wrapping around the brushes. Hair usually gets stuck in vacuum brushes, requiring manual removal. However, Dyson's new system directs hair from the middle of the brush to the edges, and then pulls it directly into the dustbin. The company claims this system can handle hair up to 25 inches long.

Moreover, this head can independently adapt its settings depending on the floor type. On hard surfaces, the brush speed is reduced, while on carpets, it increases. Consequently, the suction power is also adjusted according to the needs. This minimizes the need for frequent attachment changes.

For homes typical of India, this change is significant, as a single residence may contain various surfaces such as marble, tile, wooden floors, carpets, and rugs.

The V16 features a new 900W Hyperdymium motor, which provides maximum suction of up to 315 air watts. According to Dyson, this model is 50% more powerful than the previous Hyperdymium motor. It also includes Dynamic Cyclone technology. In boosted mode, five additional cyclones are activated, allowing the machine to exert more effort where stronger suction is required.

Dyson's approach is not only about increasing power but also about ensuring the machine uses high power only when necessary. This is why the sensors, motor, and software are designed to work together.

The V16 is equipped with the CleanCompactor Bin. Its function is not limited to simple dust collection; it also compacts it, allowing more debris to be stored in a smaller volume. Dyson claims that compared to a regular bin of the same size, it can collect approximately three times more dust and dirt. The company estimates that it can hold dust and debris for up to 30 days. The interior surface of the bin is designed to reduce dust and hair adhesion during emptying. Thus, Dyson has solved a daily problem related not so much to the cleaning itself, but to the subsequent cleaning of the vacuum cleaner.

The Dyson V16 cleaning head is fitted with LED lighting. Its purpose is to reveal dust that is invisible under normal lighting on the floor. According to a Dyson study conducted in India, 51.6% of respondents stated that areas under beds and furniture often remain uncleaned, and 47.5% reported difficulties cleaning corners, edges, and the bottom of walls.

The V16 Piston Animal has a fully sealed filtration system. The goal of this system is to prevent dust collected by the vacuum from being recirculated into the air. Dyson states that its filtration system is capable of trapping even the smallest particles. This is especially useful for households where daily cleaning involves dust, hair, and pet fur.
