PowerVision $900 Drone Picks Up Sound Using a Smartphone Mic or Earphone

The $899 PowerEgg X, launching at CES and available Tuesday, is a combination drone, handheld three-axis artificial intelligence camera and autonomous personal camera, said PowerVision Robot Friday. The multifunction device is equipped with a 4K 60-frames-per-second camcorder with a three-axis gimbal for stabilization. It’s the first consumer drone that can pick up sound, said the company, through users’ smartphone mic or a wireless earphone. Its spotlight feature remembers a subject, allowing PowerEgg X to track it when the subject moves in and out of the field of view. It can be used to take a photo, record video, track movements, and capture a group photo via gesture based on a deep-learning gesture database. PowerVision will show the device at South Hall, Booth 26415.
