Selfie @ your Wrist



Selfies are the trend of photography now. When no one is there to capture a moment for you, you go for a selfie. What if you yourself can't take a picture (selfie) but you desperately need one?
This thought gave rise to a $500K worth Idea.




Nixie - the wearable camera drone, won $500K as prize in Intel's Make it Wearable contest. Christoph Kohstall is the guy who came up with this idea and this prize might help him to move this idea from prototype to reality.




What is basically Nixie ? It is a Quadcopter with a camera which will get attached to wrist. Just like a Wrist watch. When initiated by a gesture - Nixie will leave your arm, go to a reasonable distance, take a picture of you and return back to your wrist (like a Boomerang).





 
This technology is currently just a prototype. But the designer was able to impress the tech giant Intel with just a prototype. When it becomes a complete product, there might be lot of people waiting for this new Selfie stuff's release. May be it might become a part of our wrist watches in future!!!
