Dyson has launched the Find+Follow Purifier Cool, an air purifier equipped with an AI-powered camera that tracks people in a room to direct airflow and optimize energy use.

The stationary bladeless fan marks Dyson's first purifier to incorporate computer vision technology. The camera detects occupants' locations and automatically directs fresh air toward them, while powering down when the room empties. Dyson previously deployed similar camera and AI systems in its robotic vacuums, where the technology helps with navigation and obstacle avoidance. The purifier's application focuses on comfort and efficiency rather than mobility. The Find+Follow Purifier Cool is designed to reduce unnecessary operation and concentrate cooling airflow where it's needed. The device is now available for purchase, though pricing and regional availability details were not immediately disclosed.
