“The drone then returns to the wearer’s wrist, which could be controlled using a timer, or summoned using gestures. It was developed by Dr Christoph Kohstall, a physics researcher at Stanford University, with colleagues Jelena Jovanovic and Michael Niedermayr. Today, the drone won Intel’s annual Make It Wearable competition. As a result, the team has been awarded $500,000 to help make it a reality,” reports The Daily Mail.
