In the event you suppose there’s nothing extra boring than vacuuming, then you definitely most likely haven’t cleaned your oven shortly. However don’t fear about that now, since you’ll additionally have an interest on this new tech from Dyson.
Generally known as ‘CleanTrace’, it’ll use augmented actuality (AR) to present you a view of your ground as you’re vacuuming – exhibiting the areas you’ve cleaned and people which you’ve missed – in actual time.
