Sixteen years in the making, Dyson has revealed its first ever robotic vacuum cleaner. It’s called the 360 Eye and the makers claim that it can see all and clean every part of your home without repeating the same spot.
The 36o Eye’s (pretty awesome) website says that the robot “constantly observes and interprets its surroundings” through a 360-degree vision system that uses geometry and probability theory to navigate a room.
When it finds the offending dirt, Dyson says the motor spins at 78,000 rpm to create centrifugal forces from which even microscopic particles can’t escape. Apparently, it also uses (ahem) ‘digital pulse technology’ to speed the process along.
But lest you be concerned that your robotic friend is in fact lazying on the couch while you work all the day, the 360 Eye comes with IOS and Android apps that shows you live maps of where the robot has cleaned during the day.
James Dyson launched the 360 Eye at a very Apple-esque looking event in Tokyo this morning.

Sadly, this is a scenario I also considered might be a viable use case.
Spot on, exactly what makes this Snapchat payment partnership so worrying. Who do you think they’re trying to cater for with this proposal? I refuse to believe that they haven’t thought of this scenario and it’s highly plausible that it’s exactly the reason for implementing this in the first place considering Snapchat’s functionality. Disgusting!
Does the money disappear after 10 seconds?
this will really sting that one friend we all have. the stingy one that always seems to owe you a tenner but is never around when they owe it to you. This app will eradicate them. its the future.
