Smart Life Chart

A macro camera in the brush head reads the gaps between your teeth while you brush, and fires a jet of mouthrinse at the ones it finds. Dyson trained the detection on hundreds of thousands of dental images.

DJI's second robot vacuum. It walks on legs rather than rolling on wheels, which lets it step over thresholds, and a mop arm swings out to reach along edges the body cannot.

The wheels sit on articulated legs, so the machine can lift its own body onto a stair instead of stopping at one. Roborock's pitch is a single robot for a whole multi-level home.

Headphones that hand audio back and forth with Sonos speakers already in the room, so a film can move from the soundbar to your head without pausing it.

A ceiling panel that imitates daylight rather than lighting a room evenly, shifting colour and angle through the day. Aimed at rooms with no window worth the name.

Deliberately camera-free smart glasses. A green monocular display carries captions, directions and translations, and leaving the camera out is the answer to the objection that follows every other pair.

A fitness band with no screen and no subscription. Readings live in the app rather than on your wrist, which is how it stays thin and how it avoids a monthly fee.

The second generation of Meta's camera sunglasses, with an assistant you talk to rather than a display you look at. It answers about what the camera can see.

Hypershell's flagship exoskeleton. The shipping X Series assists the hips only; this frame drives the knees as well, which is where a long descent does the damage.

A robot vacuum that runs steam over the floor before the roller passes, so dried-on marks lift instead of smearing.
