I think that would defeat the purpose, I'm sure you can set waypoints, like with current off the shelve drones, or have auto target tracking software (already exists in some cameras).
The real difficulty as far as I know (for automated drone cameras) is tracking elevation without an operator, for what I know the error via GPS data is really large *like =- 5000 ft, and completely unreliable with real features (like the cliff the rock climber is on).
- bri3d 12y agoTracking altitude is usually done using a fusion of GPS and barometer. This still isn't perfect because a barometer is highly susceptible to atmospheric conditions, wind, etc, but it's a lot better than GPS alone and tends to work pretty well.
- icebraining 12y agoUsing the wrist thingy as a beacon, and assuming you can detect the angle and distance with decent accuracy, wouldn't it be possible to detect where you are relative to the user? Then you could film her/him from a few meters away without really caring where you are relative to "the world". You wouldn't even need GPS, just the beacon sensor and a 3-axis accelerometer.
