LG will show off a vacuum with augmented reality features at CES 2016, for some reason

LG cordzero vacuumYou know what would make vacuum cleaners cooler? Augmented reality. That’s what LG thinks, anyway, as they’ll be showing off a new version of their Cordzero vacuum at CES 2016 that has some AR features baked in, called the Home-Bot Turbo+. Yep.

It’s not quite as dumb as it sounds, as the vacuum will be able to take orders from someone with a smartphone in a new feature called Home-Joy. You’ll simply point towards which areas need cleaning with your smartphone camera, and voila; the Home-Bot vacuum will go clean that specific area.

Thanks to several cameras on the vacuum, it will also record where it has and hasn’t cleaned. The cameras onboard are also used for some security features, including Home-View, which allows you to stream live video of its cameras to your smartphone, and Home-Guard, which sends a photo of your house to your smartphone whenever the device detects movement. It’s officially the most talented vacuum cleaner in the world.

If you’re interested in Skynet’s first home appliance LG’s ridiculously fancy vacuum cleaner, you’ll be able to see more of it at CES in a few months.
