DustBug – DBUG

DBUG

As seen on the BBC's Petworth House: The Spring Clean

Hanwell’s DustBug is designed to lie face up on a flat surface. Like other objects in its location, the glass surface on top of the box will naturally gather dust. The integrated camera measures the percentage area of glass covered by dust and presents the data on the display screen. Measurements are normally updated every 24 hours while ambient light is close to zero.

The DustBug allows users to monitor the rate of dust coverage and determine when cleaning will be necessary.

This product has been developed in collaboration with the University of East Anglia, The National Trust, English Heritage and Historic Royal Palaces.
