Augmented Cleaning

Mixed reality applications gamify home cleaning to help users focus

Trend - Spatial computing brands are launching applications that use gamification, animations, and cameras to improve home cleaning. These are designed to integrate XR into daily tasks rather than serve as entertainment. These features aim to hold users' attention and make cleaning more engaging.

Insight - Most adults in North America are pressed for free time, and do not want to perform menial tasks, such as vacuuming, when they do have time. These consumers understand the necessity of these tasks, though, and as a result, desire help from modern technologies that could improve these experiences. Brands are recognizing these desires and launching engaging applications built on AR and XR platforms as a response.
