Dyson Unveils $499 CameraJet, an AI Toothbrush with a Built-in Camera
Dyson launched the CameraJet smart electric toothbrush at $499 (3,899 yuan in China, pre-orders opening September 7, in Dawn Pink and Deep Blue), bringing a camera and AI vision to oral care for the first time. A roughly 1mm, 100k-pixel micro lens in the brush head captures 28 oral images per second; on-device AI trained on 470,000 dental images identifies gaps between teeth in real time and fires mouthwash through precision nozzles within 100ms, combining brushing and automatic flossing while giving users real-time feedback. The 79-year-old James Dyson personally presented it.
Confirmed
- Product named Dyson CameraJet, priced at $499 (3,899 yuan in China), pre-orders from Sept 7, two colors; per @dilipkay, James Dyson spent about 7 minutes introducing the combined brushing-and-flossing device
- Specs: 1mm 100k-pixel camera, 28 images per second; AI trained on 470,000 dental images detects gaps and sprays within 100ms (relayed by @4KTV, @StewartalsopIII and others)

- At $499, far above ordinary electric toothbrushes, its reception will test consumers' willingness to pay for AI features
