the first wearable camera that can fly

Drones are everywhere at CES 2015, including various mentions and demos through the opening day keynote by Intel CEO Brian Krzanich. And of these, that one that has captured everyone’s attention came at the end of the Intel presentation, when Krzanich brought out Christoph Kohstall and Jelena Jovanovic, the winners of the recent Intel “Make it Wearable” challenge, to have them demonstrate their Edison-powered Nixie wearable drone.


Its first public demonstration did not disappoint. Kohstall, sporting Nixie on his wrist like a bionic wristwatch, snapped the device off his arm and explained that it has no controller, but rather flies away with a toss, pauses to snap a photo, and then returns to the sender to be caught.

A physicist from California has invented the internet's dream camera, a drone which you wear as a watch that’ll fly away and snap selfies on command before returning to you. The Nixie is still in early development, but has recently received a huge boost by winning $500,000 in Intel’s Make It Wearable competition.
