Lehmann LA100 – A fully automated Go Pro Kamera AR drone

The “LA100“, designed by the Lehmann company, is a fully automated Go Pro AR drone allowing you to perform aerial videos easily. The principle? Attach a Go Pro video kamera above or below, or both, and then launch the LA100. This gadget is then programmed to automatically perform a path around the launch point at an altitude of 100m for 5 minutes. Perfect to create aerial go pro kamera videos without even learn to fly a remote controlled plane or helicopter! But it will cost you no less than € 990 for this drone.

Physical characteristics

The drones share similar exterior characteristics, they all have a 92 centimeter wingspan and are build using aluminium and carbon fiber composite materials, while most of the airframe is made up of foam, resulting in a very sturdy yet lightweight structure, that can also be easily serviced in case of damage.

The LA100 weights 850 grams, including one attached camera, while the LA200 and LA300 models have a similar weight of 950 grams. Mounts for different models of GoPro cameras are available either on top or on the belly of the aircraft, the drones can also be flown with 2 on board cameras, however flight range might be reduced. The LA300 top model can also carry a Nokia Lumia phone on its belly. A comparison of characteristics of the L-A drones is presented in the table below.

Roles and Functions

The LA100-version 2 drone is designed as a user-friendly personal drone for short range flights. It comes with a preset flight path and can be flown right out of the box, after installing your GoPro camera. As mentioned earlier the drone can be monitored in real time from the OperationCenter WP8 app, and different flight paths can be uploaded to the aircraft. Price for this model is less than 1000 US Dollars or Euro plus taxes, depending on region.

The LA200 model is very similar, the main difference being its augmented flight autonomy, thanks to the higher capacity battery pack. Advanced mission control and customization are available through the OperationCenter Windows 8 software. This drone can be bought at about 2500 US Dollars without taxes.

Apart from that, the USB flash drive also features a built-in LED indicator, and the reserved hole allows you to attach the special hard disk drive to your keychain.

 

Google’s Smart Contact Lens

Google patents the smart contact lens, integrates it with a micro camera.

When it was first introduced, Mountain View giant offered it as a contact lens capable of measuring sugar level and blood pressure in the body. But the future improvements depicted in the patent are no less than watching a sci-fi movie. Google smart contact will be equipped with a camera capable of detecting colors, patterns or even recognizing the faces — which may not get accepted in this post Snowden era.

The whole ton changes include a circuit capable of charging itself with a possible help of photo-diode or the pressure sensors, the smart contact would be capable of alerting a visually  impaired person about approaching hazards, it can be through the smartphone or some other way.

The capabilities of processing raw data also equips these lens with an ability to alert a normal user with approaching hazard, the lens would alert the user about approaching car or any threat. Also the image processed for producing an alert can also be displayed on the contact lens itself. Although the patent claims about not disturbing the vision, the integrated display would be capable of giving an LED indication about an approaching car or whatsoever..

Another possible application of it with the embedded camera is to zoom in the scene, so if you are detective or a crime reporter this new invention is definitely for you.

Google would probably be launching it in the coming few years, it may come out with some great changes or become a total failure.
