PowerVision, a California-based robotics company, will launch its latest product, the PowerEgg X, at next week's CES 2020 conference and trade show. The compact, egg-shaped device has multiple uses.
It can operate as an autonomous personal AI camera, a handheld 3-axis AI camera, or as a drone. The PowerEgg X was created to fill a consumer demand for an all-in-one versatile and affordable camera that allows users to instantly share content, according to PowerVision.
The PowerEgg X took over 3 years to create, involved over 300 engineers, and 100 technology patents. The device weighs 522 grams (1. 15 pounds) and measures at 165x100x100 mm (6. 5x3. 9x3. 9 inches). Its 4K/60p camera has 1/2. 8 inch CMOS 12MP sensor with a 78. 4e of up to 3. 5 hours.
In drone mode, the PowerEgg X can fly up to 30 minutes in 19-24 mph winds. It features obstacle avoidance, precise landing, and comes with a waterproof case and landing pad allowing it to take off and land in the water. PowerVision claims it can fly in the rain, a first for the drone industry. Another is the ability for users to narrate in real-time by using their mobile phone's microphone or a wireless earphone. Its proprietary SyncVoice technology automatically synchronizes with pictures, 'effectively ending silent-aerial photography. '
"'Innovate the Future' is our mission and innovation is in our DNA," said Wally Zheng, Founder and CEO of PowerVision. "Three years in development, PowerEgg X pulls together the technology consumers are seeking and puts it in a small, elegant egg shape. With smart-image recognition tracking, image mechanical stabilization, and simple video-editing tools, it is easy for anyone to shoot material as if they were a professional-grade videographer. By creating a multi-purpose device, PowerVision has reduced the user's total purchase cost, storage requirement, increased ease-of-use, and giving the user unprecedented convenience. "
Starting at $899, the PowerEgg X will be available for purchase on PowerVision's site along with other approved retailers including BestBuy, B&H Photo and Amazon on January 7th. Those attending the annual CES 2020 show can view it at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the South Hall, booth #26415, from January 7th - 10th.
