Drone Tourism

Over the last few weeks, I've stumbled into a lot of videos taken by drones.  Not only are the videos of great quality, but they have also allowed the viewer to see the sites from angles seldom seen by most people.  This has led to a new type of business that could be very easy for people to set up if they had the right motivation and tools.  That business, of course, is tourism.  Depending on the setup, you could possibly allow others to control the camera where you could control the drone.  This could attract a whole range of new audiences, who either might not be able to travel to the actual location, or it could allow groups like schools to take virtual field trips to a new level.  I have posted several videos where 360° cameras have been mounted on the drones.  The interesting aspect on doing this is it allows the end user to move the camera to see areas they are more interested in.  If you are interested in starting companies that do this, you might want to move fast.  Companies are already starting businesses like this.




Project Soli

What an inventive way to use Radar!  I can definitely see how this would have some advantages over other technologies to track movement.  Not only that, but I can also see a lot of companies start using this with their own devices.
