## Executive read

### BLUF

October is the Dyson camera-ship file. 360 Eye goes on sale in Japan — 23 October at Omotesando, 26 October at 65 stores — at ¥138,000 before tax, after a missed spring window. 360° vision and an app that shows a clean map. Other markets 2016. Trust/camera, not a recall.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** ITmedia (21 October) and The Verge (21 October) date the Japan launch: Omotesando **23 October**, nationwide **26 October**, **¥138,000** tax-exclusive. Engadget (23 October) treats the 23rd as first retail day.
2. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The 2014 announcement promised spring 2015 Japan. The dated delay reason in October copy is genkan / height-handling, battery, and noise — hardware and software — not a leak.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** A panoramic camera that “constantly observes” a room, plus an app map stored after the run, is the second 2015 camera-on-vac trust object (after Roomba 980). It is not yet a US SKU.

### Analytic labels
- **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record
- **Assessment** — analytic judgment
- **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed
- **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap

### Source grades
- **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed
- **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated
- **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums)

## 01. Dyson 360 Eye ships in Japan — 360° camera, missed spring date, ¥138,000; other markets 2016

*Event / publication dates: 21 October 2015 (Dyson via ITmedia; The Verge); 23 October 2015 (Omotesando first sale; Engadget); 26 October 2015 (65 stores)*

**Product class.** Robot vacuums / mop combos

**Verified record — [Fact — A1 / B1]** ITmedia, 21 October 2015: Dyson announced Japan-first sale of “ダイソン 360 Eye.” Flagship **Dyson 表参道** from **Friday 23 October**; **65** mass-retail stores from **Monday 26 October**; store reference price **138,000 yen (税別)**. DDM V2 up to **78,000 rpm**; Radial Root Cyclone; HEPA; full-width mouth; carbon-fibre and nylon bar. [ITmedia](https://www.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle/articles/1510/21/news143.html).

The Verge, 21 October: Omotesando this Friday (23 October), nationwide the following Monday; other markets “some time in 2016,” no firm dates; delayed from spring to fine-tune battery life and noise and to stop falls into **genkan**; Gizmodo Japan price ~$1,150 vs Roomba 980 at $899.99. [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2015/10/21/9581899/dyson-360-eye-vacuum-cleaner-on-sale).

Engadget, 23 October: “goes on sale in Japan today priced at 138,000 yen — before tax.” Senior robotics engineer Mike Aldred: spring date missed after Japanese-home beta; genkan ~50 mm drop forced a return to “height handling systems”; cable/tread-guard hardware changes; companion app shows “schematics for how the 360 cleaned last”; “These maps, (stored after the vacuum cleans).” Other countries 2016. [Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2015-10-23-dyson-360-eye-price-delay.html).

The 360° vision system (panoramic camera, ~30 fps, SLAM) was specified at the **4 September 2014** Tokyo announce and is background, not a 2015 first-announce. CES 2015 was not the dated launch. No US/UK/EU ship this month. No recall. No injury count.

**Threat landscape.** A panoramic camera on a robot that “constantly observes and interprets its surroundings,” now in Japanese dwellings, with an app map stored after the run. Physical harm not alleged. Trust boundary: continuous room imagery for navigation; post-run map in the app; no independent statement this month that frames are not retained or not transmitted.

**Forum / community notes.**
- none found.

**Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — High confidence] Japan street dates, yen price, and the spring miss are as ITmedia / Verge / Engadget write them. [Inference — Moderate confidence] “Maps stored after the vacuum cleans” is a stronger retention claim than iRobot’s September “deleted after cleaning” line — quote both; do not collapse them. [Uncertainty] Whether the live 30 fps camera stream leaves the device, and 2016 US/EU dates, are unpublished.

**Opportunity.** A US/EU street date, a Dyson privacy statement with retention numbers, or a regulator file.

**LRRK relevance.** Sense / Move / Act and Kestrel (360 camera path). Watch: 2016 other-market ship. Passport: Japan-first camera vac.

**Confidence.** High on 21/23/26 October dates and ¥138,000. Moderate on genkan as the delay cause (engineer interview). Low on actual image retention and 2016 dates.

## Forward indicators

1. Dyson US/UK/EU 2016 street date.
2. LG or other live-view vac if dated.
3. Any CPSC robot-vac page (do not invent a Roomba recall).
4. Any dated Jibo slip.
5. First RAPEX robotic-mower alert that cites EN 50636-2-107.

> **Collection integrity.** One signal. 4 September 2014 Tokyo announce is background only. CES 2015 was not used as a Dyson first-announce. No October CPSC / Health Canada / RAPEX robot-vac or robotic-mower safety ID. Forum empty.
