Let’s say you’ve got some basketball skills, but could use improvement. The coach yells at you as you try, but you aren’t getting better. Drones to the rescue. This invention films your hands as you throw the ball. The drone captures your entire movement, which you can then study to see what you are doing wrong.
The patent application discloses “a method for video capturing of an activity of at least one athlete practicing in an area, and is associated with a camera-equipped drone. The method includes the drone hovering in a zone, capturing video streams, analyzing video streams, maneuvering and camera alignment in accordance with the analysis, and the drone executing navigation instructions and desired camera parameter alignment in accordance with the determining of drone maneuvering and camera alignment.”
The drone knows how a hand looks like before the hand throws a ball, so it only films the most important moments of the throw. “Preferably, the signal includes a hand gesture or a finger gesture.”
As a bonus, if you have social media, you can post videos of your maddest dunks for your fans, so they can see your work up close and personal.
