Pictures and in particular selfies have become a ubiquitous part of our world. They play a central role and even serve to interactively share private trip experiences with others. Against the backdrop that many pictures are only possible thanks to accessories such as selfie sticks, the Hover Camera offers fascinating new options. Integrated into a self-flying drone, this camera delivers a picture quality with a resolution of 4K and 13 MP. It is fully enclosed by a foldable, cage-like housing made of carbon fibre, which is very light and compact. Thanks to its patented construction, it protects against open propellers and folds up to a size no larger than a Moleskine notebook. The solid housing thus guarantees safe and uncomplicated transportation, yet is easy to handle as well as mechanically strong and robust. Interacting with the Hover Camera is a highly entertaining and exciting experience. It floats softly in the air, reacts to commands and shoots pictures. This is made possible through proprietary embedded AI technology that allows for the drone to operate autonomously using facial and body recognition. The Hover Camera follows and accompanies its user almost anywhere like a friendly and interactive companion – an object that is just as futuristic as it is emotionalising.
