Taking pictures from the same old angle gets boring after a while. People want to be able to throw their cameras into the air and take pictures of everything that is happening down below. The aerial camera Skyros can take pictures from up to 120 feet high and is capable of prescreening photos with an inbuilt sensor. Designed by Siddharth Kambe, can be launched into the air where it takes pictures as it flies back to the user. Once the camera is linked to its base, the pictures can be viewed and desired shot retained. Inbuilt sensors ensure that the camera boomerangs back to the user so that no skills in controlling the camera are required.

Small enough to be held by hand, Skyros can also be used in the manual mode. Also, the protective rings around the camera can be transformed to work as a tripod so that the camera can be launched from the ground. Still only at the prototypic stage, Skyros contains a pneumatic cylinder, CO2 canister, RF transmitter/receiver, microprocessor, battery and LCD screen. Apart from looking really cool, Skyros is easier and takes lesser time for manufacturing.
