Smart fan that only oscillates between selected cooling zones instead of rotating across the whole room

Most table fans rotate across large empty areas before coming back to the people actually using them.

What if a smart fan let you set 2 key points so it only oscillates between occupied zones like:

  • desk ↔ bed
  • sofa ↔ chair

This could:

  • reduce wasted airflow
  • improve cooling efficiency
  • avoid annoying full-room oscillation

The idea is more like “programmable oscillation boundaries” rather than full AI tracking.

Would this actually be useful or practical to build?
