Project Brief
Designed inside-out to ensure a smooth and safe flying experience, Hover 2 introduces an entirely new drone experience, capturing gorgeous shots from every angle with unprecedented ease. Innovations like Optical Radar and cutting-edge A.I. enable industry-leading obstacle avoidance and tracking features.
Following on from its predecessor, the Hover Camera Passport, Hover 2 has improved flight time, video transmission, fight stability, obstacle avoidance, camera, gimbal, and intelligent flight modes, plus much more.
Project Innovation/Need
Combined with SLAM 3D mapping, VIO (Visual Inertial Odometry), and path planning features, the drone can navigate new environments with 360º obstacle avoidance and bypass obstacles while tracking a target in real time. These cutting-edge algorithms are powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon processor.
Hover 2's computer vision system is able to accurately lock onto the target even after significant changes in appearance and shape of the target. By modeling the environment and monitoring the surrounding figures, our algorithm can accurately assess the cause of the obstruction and intelligently adjust its tracking strategy.
Hover 2’s proprietary Optical Radar is a swiveling stereo sensor that gives the drone depth perception in every direction.
With 4K video, 12 megapixel photos, 1/2.3in CMOS sensor, and a mechanical gimbal, the Hover 2 lets you capture yourself and the world around you in dazzling detail.
The Hover 2 is designed with enclosed propellers and advanced obstacle avoidance technology to protect you and the drone, allowing you to get close-up shots that are impossible on other devices. Onboard GPS allows for greater flight stability, easy tracking, and can bring Hover 2 back to you.
