I seem to remember in the back of my head some 80’s Saturday morning cartoon had a character with a wrist watch that was also a robot that took off and spied on the bad guys. I guess the people at Nixie saw the same show at some point and turned it into a drone (or “wearable camera” as they call it). The Nixie Wearable Camera looks like a wristwatch, but then it unfolds into a small drone, takes off, takes a picture or video, and comes back. Basically a flying SoloShot. Of course, I can hear every concerned parent out there worrying about four spinning blades being just inches from their peoples’ wrists and jugulars – a major accident is just a sudden allergy-induced sneeze away. Hopefully there are some security measures in place. But as with any emerging technology (like drones), the charge is to make the idea practical and relevant to everyday usage in order to gain widespread usage. Unlike many other new technologies, I can see where something like this could have educational potential right away (once they invent miniblade-proof wrist guards, that is). Any course that could send learners out into the world to capture visual artifacts from a greater distance (Geology, Architecture, Urban Planning, Nursing, Engineering, etc) could utilize cheaper/smaller drone options to help learners gain a different perspective. Of course, this is not the first smaller drone to be made, but it does contain a novel (albeit potentially grisly) storage and transportation mode that could make it more practical than others. Of course, if you end up owning an Apple Watch, a Fit Bit, an Empatica E4, and a Nixie, it will be like the 80s Swatch fad gone high-tech.
