Intel’s drone lightshow now works indoors
Remember Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show with the drones that made the light show? A scaled-down version of that system now works indoors, Intel says, making it perfect for conferences, Vegas shows and bar mitzvahs. These drones opened Intel’s CES keynote.

Trump signs bill reinstating the FAA’s drone registration requirement
Back in late-2015, the Federal Aviation Administration introduced new rules requiring owners of small drones to submit their devices to a database and attach a registration code to the side of the product. In May of this year, a judge in the D.C. Circuit shot the rule down, and the FAA began the process of returning the $5 registration fee. Now the registry is back on, courtesy of a… Read More

Drones have become a serious part of the photography experience, capable of capturing unique photos and videos that no non-flying camera ever could. But as anyone who’s ever been attacked by a drone will tell you, piloting them is not easy – regardless of whether you’re using a touchscreen or an external controller.
Fortunately, there’s a new self-flying drone that handles all of this on its own: the Hover 4K Camera Passport Self-Flying Camera Drone.
This Red Dot Design award-winning drone uses facial recognition to fly autonomously and capture 360-degree, panoramic 4K photos and videos of you in your environment. Much like the more expensive DJI drones, the Hover also lets you use hand gestures to snap photos anytime. And when you’re finished flying, the Hover folds up to a travel-friendly size and can easily fit into a small bag or purse. Read more…
