Melbourne-based company, I-Drone, has developed the ‘Projector Drone’ which is capable of beaming news, games and advertising over the walls of buildings. The proof of concept aircraft is able to fly for 12 minutes at a time, features its own on-board data storage and a 500 lumens projector. The company is already working on more sophisticated features, including live streaming data, pan and tilt projector controls and ultrasonic sound capabilities.
Ryan Hamlet, the company’s Project Manager, has said “We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what UAS can do. We want to go beyond ‘eye-in the sky’ applications. Our ‘Projector Drone’ does not record the world around it. It broadcasts onto it.”
“The ‘Projector Drone’ is one of the company’s favourite projects and has been developed in partnership with the team at Mini Projector.com.au”
Since early 2013 I-Drone has explored remotely piloted aircraft systems for a range of uses, from farming, photography, creative, emergency response, industrial applications and sports coaching.
I-Drone is now in the process of looking for commercial and educational partners to continue this project with them.
