Wearable Drone Flies off Your Wrist to Snap a Photo and Boomerangs Back

Drone technology is interesting enough by itself, but when you strap a camera on it, the pairing can yield some awe-inspiring results. We’ve recently seen what it can do in the first annual Dronestagram Photo Contest - how amazing are those images? Now, a team of engineers and scientists have created a concept for Nixie, a wearable drone and camera. It works by popping off your wrist, turning into a quadcopter drone, and taking video or pictures in the air. You can even put it in “boomerang” mode and have it fly back to you!
This incredible project is currently one of the finalist in Intel’s Make It Wearable competition. The finale is on November 3, 2014, so we’ll have to find out how the team fares. Even still, this idea has a ton of potential; Nixie has visions of the wearable technology taking off and returning via gesture control.
Check out the video below to see how Nixie could work!

  1. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to understand a lot approximately this,
    such as you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you just could do with a few % to force the message house a bit, but instead of that,
    that is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

  2. Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
    I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any tips?
