Warning: this video isnt for the faint hearted, especially if you love your drone. Watch this video of a DJI Inspire drone get absolutely crushed by a flying jetski. Although it was the perfect time to catch the jetskis impressive launch off a wave, this perfect timing shot resuled in a mid air collision. and guess which one won?
The concept of wearable tech is not only becoming more common, but also more daring. The idea of a phone on your watch a while back was crazy, yet now all the more acceptable… maybe even expected.
One piece of tech I bet you never thought of, just like me, was a wearable drone. You heard right, a wearable drone.
The average consumer was shocked with the concept of Lily, its not uncommon for myself to have someone bring up that ‘Drone that follows you’ while training with clients or on set doing a sports shoot. The concept of an autonomous drone is awesome, but someone has taken it one step further Maybe even a few steps further, by not only making a drone autonomous but also wearable and so much more portable.
Meet Nixie!
Nixie is the first wearable drone that surprisingly enough has been in the news for much longer than expected. Nixie was actually conceived in 2014 and put on show when the founders won the Intel ‘Make It Wearable Challenge’ and the first ‘working’ one was on display at CES 2015. While it was only a small demo, its pretty sic!
Just like the Lily, The concept video is to drive interest in hopes that when they go on sale, they will fly out the door. I imagine the actual Nixie is nowhere near to being on shelves, not even in time for Christmas 2016. According to their web and based on the video we can expect the following:
More has been promised but as to what, we will have to wait and see.

Intel launched 100 drones skywards in formation and earned a new world record title for the Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously.
Watch this video of a swarm of 100 drones performing a spectacular light show. The 100 drones danced to an orchestra performing Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. The drones carried multicolored lights, and were controlled by computers using Intel software.
If you have the need for speed both on a track and in the air, then this action packed video is for you. Watch this high speed drift car twist and turn around the track with smooth perfection while being chased by a racing drone. Brilliant driving from the driver and the pilot.
