Dyson Launches $499 CameraJet Toothbrush with AI Camera and Automatic Flossing Jet
Dyson has launched the CameraJet smart electric toothbrush priced at $499 (3,899 RMB in China), featuring an integrated micro-camera and AI algorithm to automatically detect interdental gaps and spray mouthwash. The device analyzes 28 frames per second in real time using edge processing, triggering a water stream within 100 milliseconds of gap detection. The launch combines high-frequency sonic brushing, real-time endoscope camera imaging, and targeted water flossing into a single consumer device. It showcases a novel practical application of edge computer vision designed to automate personal dental care routines. The CameraJet utilizes a 100,000-pixel camera with a strobe light, a 21-degree conical spray pattern, and an internal expanding airbag system that maintains liquid pressure regardless of brush orientation. Camera frames are processed locally without cloud upload for privacy protection, while an RFID system tracks brush head wear and prompts replacements every three months.
## BACKGROUND
Electric toothbrushes typically use high-speed sonic vibrations to remove surface plaque, while water flossers generate pressurized water streams to clear debris between teeth. Dyson's 'Gap Optical Targeting' technology integrates micro-endoscopic imaging with machine learning vision algorithms to perform automated water flossing simultaneously with regular brushing.
