1. A device for dispensing a fluid product nasally, comprising a reservoir containing fluid product; a dispensing means for dispensing a dose of fluid product upon each actuation, and a dispensing head which is assembled on the dispensing means, the dispensing head being provided with a dispensing orifice, characterized in that the nasal device comprises:
a camera for determining the spatial position of the nasal device in a nostril of a user, the camera determining the vertical angle of inclination and the lateral angle of inclination between a longitudinal axis of the nasal device and an axis configured on the user's face, the axis on the user's face being identified by several reference points detected by the camera, wherein the several reference points are: three reference points configured on the user's nose, six configured on each of the user's eyes and five configured on each of the user's eyebrows,
wherein an orientation of the axis on the user's face, configured to be with respect to the user's nostril, is configured to always be identical irrespective of the position of the user,
a positioning indicator for guiding the user towards an optimal orientation of the nasal device in the nostril, and
an electronic module and automatic actuation means adapted to automatically actuate the nasal device when the camera is configured to determine that the nasal device is disposed in an optimal position in the nostril.
