The developers emphasized that Nixie is intended for taking framing-worthy pictures and videos, not only selfies.[13] ApplicationsEven though a wearable camera drone was suggested to have applications in rock climbing, mountain biking, and other adventure sports,[5][3] in November 2014 the developers announced plans to market Nixie to a niche audience of rock climbers first, before expanding to a general audience.[14][8] Operation modesSensors and motion-prediction algorithms are used to guide Nixie along one of four pre-programmed paths for taking photos or video.[5]
HistoryAccording to Wired,[5] the first Nixie prototype was built by Christoph Kohstall. After tinkering with a quadcopter that he received as a gift, Kohstall built a drone model of eyeglasses with propellers, as well as a prototype that could dive underwater and then reemerge from under the surface.[5] To better address the poor usability of quadcopters, he then had an idea to create a "flying wristband" with a camera.[49] Kohstall's partner Jelena Jovanovic was involved in creating the first prototype and later became the project manager.[5][49] Together with Michael Niedermayr, Kohstall and Jovanovic entered the 2014 Intel's Make It Wearable competition as team Nixie led by Kohstall.[4][49] Once the team became a finalist on September 3, 2014,[2][4][15][16] Nixie received significant amount of attention,[2][5][3][4] and > 5.9 million views on YouTube.[12][32] As one of ten competition finalists, the team was provided with mentorship, design assistance, technical support, and $50,000 for further development.[2] The team presented the final prototype at the Intel Make It Wearable Challenge Finale on November 3, 2014,[17] winning the $500,000 seed funding grand prize to develop the prototype into a product.[9] In their second interview with Wired,[8] the developers indicated that their primary goals for improving the drone were optimizing propellers, motors, and object navigation, as well as miniaturisation of Nixie.
