Flybi drone is sure to intrigue many with landing base, incredible battery technology and virtual reality goggles.
One of the most fascinating and incredible crowdfunding projects I have seen in a long time is Flybi.
What makes it so incredible is the safety technology and the care the designers took in making it the best out there.
"The main problem with drones on the market today is that their battery gets drained after 15 – 20 minutes of use. That is why we wanted to come up with a solution that will enable the user unlimited flight time. Whereby when the battery gets near drained the user may bring the drone back to the Helideck which is doubled as the carrying bag and as an automated battery swapping mechanism," Jonathan Globerson, CTO of Flybi and Founder of GloberDesign, said "So the drone simply once landed in the bag, will automatically swap the drained battery with a new battery and continue flying."Aside from the increased battery life, the drone has a sleek design which is appealing to the eye.
The drone doesn't look bulky and it is stylistic, even the Helideck is beautifully designed to match the aesthetics of the drone.
"The Drone was inspired by nature, more specifically the Manta Ray. The Manta Ray is a beautiful animal, it has both the ability to drift in the sea and jump out and fly in the Air?" Globerson said. "We tried to mimic its unique shape and looks into the Flybi. We believed as it is an animal which has a good hydrodynamics shape it would also be great for flying."For the tech person, drones are nothing new and they are becoming more and more common.
The way they are controlled and maneuverability is also becoming easier and easier for beginners.
Probably the most unique feature is the Flybi is the virtual reality goggles.
"I remember that ever since I was a child I always dreamt of flying like a bird. And that is the exact same feeling I wanted our users of Flybi to experience," Globerson said. "We wanted to give the gift of seeing the world from a bird’s eye view. This is almost like an outer body experience. While the viewer is able to move the camera inside the drone simply by moving their head. We embedded a gyroscope inside the goggles. So whenever the goggles are tilted it transmits the movement information to a set of motors in the drone that moves the camera around."
