- Device automatically shares purified air among multiple people.
- The fan costs $850 and features HEPA H13 standard filtration.
Dyson has introduced a novel AI-driven fan and air purifier, the Find+Follow Purifier Cool, designed to adapt to user presence and movement. This innovative device employs an AI vision system with "17-key point user detection technology" to track individuals, projecting purified air wherever they go within a room. Dyson emphasizes that all image processing is done locally and in real-time, with images deleted instantly, ensuring user privacy.
The fan is engineered to manage multiple occupants by automatically adjusting its smart oscillation to share purified air equitably. Furthermore, it enhances energy efficiency by powering down when no movement is detected, signifying a departure from traditional fan operation. The device integrates a K-carbon and HEPA filter, capable of trapping 50% more nitric dioxide and 99.97% of ultrafine particles up to 0.3 microns, meeting HEPA H13 standards.
Equipped with sensors for PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, NO2, and formaldehyde, the Dyson Find+Follow Purifier Cool offers comprehensive air quality monitoring. It is controllable via the MyDyson app and suitable for rooms up to 290 square feet, with a HEPA filter offering a one-year lifespan. While priced at $850, it represents a significant investment compared to standard fans or purifiers, though it falls below the cost of some of Dyson's more advanced combination devices.
