This is a sweet combo of selfie camera and drone. Flip it in the air and it flies itself. The Hover uses its built-in optical and sonar sensors to position, and steady itself and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor (similar to the CPU in phones like the HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5) it uses an advanced proprietary computer vision and artificial intelligence to detect and track faces or bodies. No controller is needed, it simply uses faces to guide itself around.
If this excites you, then head to the company website to sign up for the beta testing. Simply register and give a brief description of how you want to use the Hover.
Zero Zero Robotics, a Beijing-based start-up, expects to ship in time for the holidays with pricing expected at about $600.

VR specialist filmmakers like Al Caudullo, to create and showcase wonderful 360 VR video from around the world. Al was one of the fifteen creators worldwide who were chosen to participate in Facebook’s new product launch – 360 Live…but also filmed them in a creative and engaging way. His live videos were shared to Facebook 360 Page…
On set and in post-production Al’s expansive knowledge and professionalism contributed greatly to the ultimate success of this project. I would highly recommend Al Caudullo and Explore 360 for any video production that you have and most certainly for any 360 video shoot.
His (Al’s) vast experience at every level of execution from concept to post-delivery, make Al the ideal partner for anyone seeking to enter the 360° or VR space. I’m pleased that I got to work with him, to see the magic in action. Even beyond all the tools and the know-how, I would most of all recommend Al because he is a pleasure work with.”
