While drones have pretty much captured our attention this year, we think these nano drones could possibly take over the world in 2015.
Meet ‘ZANO’, a tiny portable drone that can be easily controlled via your smartphone to take selfies and capture HD videos of yourself.
The nano drone, which fits nicely into the palm of your hand, is fitted with multiple sensors that help it navigate through obstacles, allowing it to capture “clear and precise” images and videos mid-flight.
Once you are done recording your antics with ZANO, the drone will transfer the footages to your smartphone via WiFi.
Created by UK-based technology firm Torquing Group, ZANO currently exists as a working prototype. However, its creators are planning to refine their product before beginning their BETA testing in March 2015.
Check out ZANO in the images and video below, or visit its Kickstarter page for more information.
