Dyson’s New AI Toothbrush Conducts Video Surveillance on the Inside of Your Mouth
It's like Flock, but for the gaps between your teeth. The post Dyson’s New AI Toothbrush Conducts Video Surveillance on the Inside of Your Mouth appeared first on Futurism .
As the nation cheers those who have taken down surveillance cameras, British appliance maker Dyson has unveiled a new toothbrush that takes surveillance to a new level. The product, called the Dyson CameraJet, features a "100k pixel macro lens camera" that allows users to see inside their mouths as clearly as a dentist. The toothbrush can capture 28 images per second and uses machine learning to identify and target "interdental gaps."
To light up the dark environment of the mouth, the toothbrush employs a "stroboscopic light" for precise illumination. The CameraJet can connect to WiFi and Bluetooth, potentially opening up cybersecurity risks, and it costs a staggering $499. The device includes two brush heads, a charging cable, and a "refill dock," but users can also purchase a "proprietary non-foaming toothpaste" without the common foam-producing agent sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).
With 661 engineers contributing to its development, the CameraJet is priced at nearly ten times the cost of a popular budget electric toothbrush.
