A camera watches you take out the laundry and describes it to you as you go. You can correct it if it got something wrong.

It tells you which pile to put it in, and gives you advice on which cycle to use, and what kinds of detergents you should use for that.

It can also give you some options to choose from, noticing if you are a laundry pro, or just trying to get by.

The effectiveness is going to depend largely on if the camera used is of sufficient resolution to identify fabric types.

Humans already do this

I never bother with sorting different types of fabric or colours or anything. All dirty stuff goes in, push "go", come back in a bit & remove. Am I missing something, or is everyone else just overly pedantic?

Could it roll its eyes? It should definitely roll its eyes.

//overly pedantic// I understand each of those words, but when you put them together it sounds like French.

Am I safe in assuming that you have no daughters?

I have no anyone. It's just me (& a cat).
