Selfie drone uses facial recognition technology to take sky-high snaps
- 7 years ago
BEIJING — A Chinese startup has developed a drone equipped with facial recognition technology that takes aerial selfies of its user.
The drone is dubbed the Hover Camera Passport and was developed by Zero Zero Robotics in Beijing.
The Hover Camera Passport can fly up to 17 mph and climb as high as 16 feet, according to Mashable. The device can be remotely controlled by a smartphone. One battery charge can power up to 10 minutes of flight time.
The camera has face- and body-tracking functions, according to Hover Camera Passport’s official website. It can also orbit around the user to take photographs from all angles.
The Hover Camera Passport costs $599, which Mashable reported is much cheaper than other products on the market with similar functions.
The company has labeled the device a “flying camera,” and has been reluctant to call it a drone, Mashable reported.
