The world's first wearable drone

In what's been dubbed a cross between a GoPro and a quadcopter, physics researchers have designed the world's first wearable drone.

Called Nixie, the drone folds up and attaches to a wrist strap.

When the wearer wants it to start filming, they press a button and the drone unfolds and flies overhead, tracking their movements using motion sensors.

The drone then returns to the wearer's wrist, which could be controlled using a timer, or summoned using gestures.

It kind of reminds me of the drone in the cartoon "Speed Racer":

Control G = Homing robot (As in the original)

When pressed, the Mach Five releases a remote control robot bird capable of transmitting footage back to the Mach Five from wherever it is. This function wasn't used in the film.

It would be very cool to see a video of an actual unit in action!
