Wrist-copter---- sooooo cool. I want one,of course :)>
There's something called a Samsung gear watch that takes pictures too u know
Congratulations beautiful project
Bikramjeet Walia
The watch only takes picture as far as your wrist is that means you can only take photos of your head and shoulders. I really wonder how you gonna take a picture while driving down hill with your watch or mauntain climbing. Id love a small quadcopter that can follow you around and take pictures when you command it. Like the video said i dont have a personal photograph with me all the time.

Does it fly?
There are a lot of "new" products introduced on a daily basis but few are truly innovative in that sort of goose pimples on the back of my neck, involuntary grin, head nodding sort of way. This really made me sit up and take note. I wish Team Nixie success.
when I see stuff like the Nixie and realize I am still at school, I get the feeling that by the time I leave school and become a parent, we will be the technology of everyday.
The Nixie and many other project are amazingly beautiful, thank you for giving us the opportunity to see it from the beginning :)
If you put a small processor in a wrist bracelet that interacts wirelessly with the quad-copter, you could totally toss a learning algorithm onto the copter to always be able to locate you for the perfect image. That might be what they intend to do already, but this is super sweet!
So in a motorcycle accident, it flies off your wrist when you impact a car, then records you crashing head first into the windshield and automatically uploads the video of your final moment to RUclips. Cool.
Sounds very interesting and promising; rather than wrapping around the wrist, with its propellers vulnerable. Why not make it part of a helmet or hat, or create some landing pad on the top of the person's head that does not look conspicuous, perhaps a transparent crown like base.
Um, because all pictures of you would be of a helmet wearing geek idiot....
Somehow I'm reminded of the term "propeller head"... ?
better as an armband and silicone enclosure - that allows it to be slightly heavier and better quality, avoids it getting in the way of your activity, and can include a lightweight silicon cover/holder.
Wow! Nicely done. Genius design. Flexible, wrist worn quad. There are so many possible uses, even beyond the "wear-able flying Go-Pro" usage of it, which is still amazing. I've been thinking about it only for a minute or two now and I've thought up about 2 dozen uses (from a tool of safety, to a tool for navigating a city, etc.)
Even if you guys don't win, you're sure to find backers to make that thing a commercial reality and success. But your creation is amazing an I'm pulling for you!
Who else thought he said "I've been on Tinder all my life" at 0:25? :D ahah, later realised it was "Tinkerer"
Looks better than Lily Quadcopter. Also that thing is for 499$.. whaaat! Ultra portable, also has a cam, wonder how much is the flying time.
Awesome stuff!!
Wow! what an invention, never thought that camera in a form of wrist band that can fly & take picture like a pro.. amazing.
It was great talking to you @ CES...Nixie will do great things! Stay focused, and stay hungry.
It is incredible on how far we have come in development.
Hurry up Samsung, steal the idea and make one.
you should name it the Samsung Galaxy Fly.
Sarcasm
then Apple also follow the trend and name it iFly with a price tag $3000+.
KukuNutXY In 2018 though? Am I right ?
HAHAHA
tell4ever Samsung had the tablet phone and now apple does. who is the idea thief?
Great project! I've wanted a drone camera ever since drones became popular, but this guy really took it to the next level.
The innovation is strong in this one
This will change everything, awesome project guys
Wow amazing! You should have pressure sensor on the bottom of the body that folds in the arms/wings when putting it back on your wrist.
Pretty intense to think what could come of this product. Imagine a much faster launch and land time. Boomerang flying for quick photo or video. Live stream video to wrist display
Congrats on winning the grand prize you guys.
Amazing - especially from a power standpoint.
How cool is that! Imagine in 3-5 years, it will be smaller, more powerful and a bit more convenient. But for now, this is really amazing.
That's raw, they should add like a microphone on it so that way you can command it. For example, command it to take a photo 5 feet away from you, also the mic could be used as audio for videos.

Her voice is so calm :)
This device could actually be great in case of an emergency.
Whether it be you getting robbed or stuck in a place with no way to get out of due to small spaces.
Basically, its an SOS call.
Record a message or video, send it flying.
In camping or hiking grounds, it'll flash an SOS in Morse code for any ranger to read, The ranger will go towards that device, and signal it through a device only emergency responders use, it'll come down, play the message/video for guidance to the rescue.
In a city or town, it would fly to the nearest emergency center or checkpoint to relay a message to the emergency rescuers.
Though, the only problem I may find with it is its battery use, I don't know how long it can stand out or anything because I've never used such a thing before.
Does this idea of using these Nixies for such a purpose a good idea?
From an inventor myself, that is amazing...love it and god luck
Whoa dude radical
anyone else got shivers watching this? my god how technology has advanced. anyways go team nixie!
if they make it follow you in video, i woul buy one
WTF is the freakin' obsession with people taking pictures and videos of themselves?
Ermm... this is RUclips? The clue is in the name.
We just wanna share our moments! =)
I agree
Narcissism
The video is fucking awesome! How many times have you done something crazy and you didn't have someone to video it or would never get a good angle of it? There are so many situations you can never have a personal cameraman following you around. If you're gonna use it just to take selfies with the drone in front of you, that's stupid. But you obviously missed the point. This is GoPro to the next level...
I like this idea. However, what if Team Nixie were to use the same basic idea, but turn it into a necklace. The the bands of the Necklace clip together in the back via magnetism, the camera is in the center along with the motor, and when you take it off and toss it, the motor in the center of the piece spins the bands of the necklace - turning it into a helicopter.
this is amazing. makes me wonder what new tech we will have in 10 years
This is a very cool concept. Similar idea was demonstrated @ the first GO LANG Conference - Gophercon 2014 in Denver on April 24-26 by GOBOT. They were streaming the video using the camera mounted on a drone.
Check out GopherCon 2014 Gobot: Go Powered Robotics and Physical Computing by Ron Evans and Adrian Zankich
How do I capture those most special moments?
I capture those moments with my mind and I share those moments with my mouth.
That being said this project is amazing and I can't wait to see more.
1. Should have a thin circumference-guard on each propeller
2. Should auto-wrap around your wrist, (like 'memory-metal')
3. Should be much smaller, a 'bee', sit-on-your-shoulder kind
4. Should listen, talk back (ant-squeak), sniff for chemicals,...
This has so much potential
Just make it shoot video and I'm all for it
DJI / GoPro, You better get on this fast!
Make it wearable on your back kind of like the guys in Tron do with their discs. That way they are easy to access and it will be more comfortable
Technology. Taking selfies to a whole new level.
Great idea guys & you nailed it on the head!
Everyone will benefit with this for personal use at home, work or play.Business people of all kind, active outdoor/indoor people, police, firemen, emt's, coast gaurd , schools etc.
Yes a charger would be great and have a location tracking system for those who might go alone on there adventures & can get in trouble somewhere alone. Again Great idea! Best of Luck!
Its cute and all, but not sure how you going to solve practically the props around wrist, it will not be very comfortable... how about this: make a wearable holder that sits on back of your shoulder ( basically on you back so its not like a pirate parrot :) but still easily reachable by hand ) where you can put the small quad, I don't know use strong magnets or dry-zip to hold it there. Also include remote charging battery in the holder as the small drone will nee to recharge after it take the photo... You can saw this to coat, or make 3 point back holder ( like on gun ) ... thank you and good night ( I also accept Nobel price by mail :) )
I concur that it could be somewhat inconvenient, but it could still go on the wrist, perhaps if the propellers were more enclosed? Or it could possibly move away from the wrist, and further up the arm? What do you think?
Adam Holliday thats possibility, or it can retract the arm, I made quick sketch of what I mean here imgur.com/a/Wew3j it would be a disk basically that can attach to anything, arm, back, leg etc... twist the two halves and arms will extend, press one button on the top it will fly to predefined distance from you, turned around, took picture and went back... twist the case back and arms retract... now somebody get on to that :D
We just need a wrist phone that it can locate attach to and charge off of. Imagine the bracelet from Futurama with a drone.
Patrick McGinnes that would be cool :)
davidls11 hahahaha...I was thinking the SAME thing!! That will be the Nixie Hat model.
Forget practicality for a second... just imagine that we are able to make something like this, and some guy thought of this in his garage.. Is fucking incredible!
This is so awesome, but it's been 6 yrs, so where's this at??!!
Wow this is very close to what I wanted to do but have it drop off my backpack using gyro to re adjust it self to be right side up hovering, but this is amazing.
Yes, please.
Imagine being on bed doing your kinky stuff and you just let this fly and take pictures of you in action..
Great job! I have been flying RC quads for about 6 or more years but WOW! nice.
ÉÉ Minority Report !! já estamos quase lá!!
"So I heard you guys like smart watches" "aww tha its cute apple"
Good luck with the project, I think this is a really cool idea. It's always great to see people explore their ideas and create their imagination. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.
If there was a way to get GPS in them and sensors for their surroundings, they could be used for rescue missions.
Very cool.
Someone needs to make a baseball cap drone that you can fly with your smart phone, and it would land back on top of your head when you're done.
I Would love to wear my drone everywhere, Love the project guys keep it going! :)
I would like to see this invention flying in windy conditions
Definitely not a fan of taking selfies, but I have to admit that the idea is awesome...
Nicee. Wear it and fly it to take photos of your enjoy moment. This is superb
LOOKING FORWARD
You guys need to launch this on KickStarter.
yes lets make this happen
They must take into account the : distance the copter is taking the image from, when to take it, and from which angle. SO its definitely smartphone required.
This makes so much sense. Kinda reminds me of the ghost in destiny. More Destiny's ghost hovers not levitate via thrust from rotary propellers
Looks great, but the blades of the propellers will be susceptible to breaking, when located on the inner wrist like that. Still interested to see what he is going to come up with. Great job dude!
cool! i vote for this!
Aside from the obvious taking pics of your self have a great time. I can see this being useful for soldiers, police and firefighters to serve an area.
the first camera that I wait
This is awesome. You have got to love the future!
finally something is named after me
Awesome. Win or not, they will have my support on kickstarter, if they do.
You are awesome you should have over a million subscribers awesome keep making more ideas
4 concerns:
1) Will it auto-stabilize the image and keep the quality nice and crisp in moderately high turbulence/winds?
2) Mounted LED spot-lighting for late-afternoon/evening shots?
3) Does the wearer need to wear some sort of homing beacon so the drone can land EXACTLY back on the wearer's wrist?
4) Will the drone be smart enough to tell if the wearer wants to include a large group of people in the shot.... will it know when to zoom-out automatically? Like let's say i'm not the only one climbing a cliff.... but 12 people are also climbing with me.... each of us maybe more than 3 feet apart from each other?
Genius idea!
Change the processor to an allwinner, and you've got yourselves a customer.
The ultimate selfie taking weapon
Very cool guys. Hope you make millions of dollars, and make this affordable for most people to buy.
incredible idea to see in action!
Don't call it to take a selefie man! First of all remove the word selfie from your mind.we can use it in various work.This is not a bad idea man!.It will make our work easier and help us in different situation,the idea is great.
osom... this is good.. it also needs a tracker device so it can film u too... eventually giving it commands through ur hand movement..... this kind of futurism makes me remember a lot of sf movies where certain things appeared before theyve been put to practice in rl years later.... like the tablets used in stargate.... or the predator drone from predators.... well.. actually, this could be it :)...
Holy shit if this was selling right now I will definitely buy it. Trust me it would sell
I was really hoping for a drone helmet that lifts you up off the ground so you can hover around.
its just awsome man simple and creative idea and thanks to intel too
This is awesome now u can have selfies with holding the camera xD really I would just do family pictures
This is a great idea. Id definitely buy it. Would be better if at least had a watch look or something. But still great.
This looks like a fantastic idea!
That is so cool, i would buy it!!
Very coooool. I want to get a one.How much do you think it will cost?
Really an awesome concept I'm going to follow this!
This is already someone else's idea on Kickstarter so they aren't the first to have this idea. The only difference is that the Kickstarter drone isn't worn on your wrist. It's a real quadcopter so it will probably have a bigger battery and high quality video camera.
this plus google glass = epic
Great idea. Hope you can make it happen!
I'd rather buy one these than a smart watch. These have to be manufactured and sold in the USA soon!
Holy duck, i had the similar idea :) the execution is just absolutely well done...will definitely get me one of these when they start selling :)
truly brilliant idea
This is actually pretty cool!
Amazing stuff !
hihi it’s so useful for people who wants to take a photo in a distance
If you guys do this you rock. I will be first in line to buy one. Just make sure it's in 1080p.
I hope you win!!
Me and myself ? What a dream
Great! Make it waterproof!
