It is always interesting to see how combinations of sensors enable intriguing new product designs. The MeCam from Always Innovating is a prefect demonstration. Fitting into the palm of your hand, the MeCam has a video camera and 14 sensors. An advanced auto-pilot and a unique spatial location algorithm allow the nano copter as the company describes it, to track and hover around the user. The 14 sensors include side object detection to enable hovering. With location directed by the operator, the videos can be uploaded to social media platforms. While not currently an available product, the design is available for licensing.
