Nixie: Wearable drone to shoot selfie

The world of wearable technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace. One of these innovations is Nixie, a drone camera that can be worn on the wrist, take off, and automatically film the user. Drawing attention with its portable, lightweight, and smart structure, Nixie offers a new solution, especially for users who want to record action moments.

Capture yourself inside the action

While traditional cameras only allow users to shoot what they see, Nixie takes this a step further. Thanks to the drone camera, users can film themselves during activities such as climbing, running, camping, and hiking, recording these moments from a unique angle. Thus, high-quality memories worth framing emerge, going far beyond ordinary selfies.

Photo and video shooting modes

Nixie can be quickly activated while attached to the wrist. When airborne, it offers various shooting options:

  • Single photo
  • Burst mode
  • Short video recording

These options help users select the most suitable shooting mode according to the activity.

Lightweight, wearable, and flyable design

The most striking point of Nixie is that it is a wearable drone. Therefore, it needs to be both compact enough to be carried on the wrist and balanced and light enough to take off. Prototype tests conducted show that the device can support all these features. While the design process continues, the focus is on further simplifying the user experience.

Stabilization and subject tracking technology

One of the biggest problems seen in small drones is stabilization. Nixie is working on two different technologies in this regard:

  • Inertial navigation: The drone can capture images at the correct angle by referencing the position from which it took off.
  • Vision tracking: In the advanced version, the drone can automatically track by detecting the person and return to the starting point after completing the shot.

Thanks to these technologies, the drone framing the user correctly becomes much more reliable.
