drone and people sync
What happens when drones and people sync their vision?
That could be a reality soon, thanks to an agreement just announced by the mysterious SICdrone, an unmanned aircraft system manufacturer, and CrowdOptic, an "interactive streaming platform that connects the world through smart devices." A CrowdOptic "cluster" -- multiple people focused on the same object. CrowdOptic's technology lets a "cluster" (multiple people or objects) point their cameras or smartphones at the same thing (say, at a concert or sporting event), with different views, allowing for group chat or sharing content. For SICdrone, the idea is to use CrowdOptic tech to automatically orchestrate the drones' onboard cameras to track and capture multiple camera angles (and views) of a single point of interest.* Beyond that, this tech could provide vital flight-navigation systems to coordinate multiple drones without having them conflict (or crash), says CrowdOptic CEO Jon Fisher.
