We're back to posting gadgets that will help you catch the airsoft footage from the air ---- another camera drone. But camera drones are bulky and add weight to the load we're carrying on our way to the airsoft game, especially if we're commuting to the airsoft field. This project, called Nixie, and a finalist in the Intel Make It Wearable Challenge Finale, takes that concern off as you can wear this drone on your wrist.

A wearable camera drone? Project Nixie must be the coolest and ultimate tool for taking selfie rather than look awkward with the pole you use or that arm that's extending to the camera when taking a photo or a video of yourself and friends. So once there's some intense airsoft firefight, you can quickly deploy the Nixie from your wrist to take footage of you and your mates in action. From a wristband into a quadcopter, that must be some kind of magic.

Information is still light on Nixie as there are no product details apart from what I have written above. Information is lacking on the usual features such as video/photo capture resolution and frame rates; wifi and bluetooth connectivity to mobile devices; camera specifications such as lens; and power capacity such as charging and battery

We'll know more about Nixie once the prototype is presented on the 3rd of November for the Finale of the contest in San Francisco. You can also know which other wearable projects made it to the finals, and the winner will walk away with the US$500,000 Grand Prize plus mentorship in making the product/idea into a very viable business.

That's still a lot of waiting for Nixie to become a consumer product. But they just proved that making a wearable drone which will be ready to deploy if you need to capture the moment handsfree. That'll make a lot of camera huggers in airsoft happy if Nixie becomes widely available.
