This is a cute bracelet! Oh, and it’s also a drone that will take selfies for you in mid-air

That’s the idea behind Intel’s Make It Wearable contest, “a global initiative to inspire ideas and fuel innovation that will evolve personal computing in exciting new ways.” With a $500,000 grand prize, Intel is challenging people to invent and design tech projects so small and functional that you can wear them on your body unobtrusively. It’s the future!

The Make It Wearable contest finalists include emotional prosthetics, a low-cost robotic hand, a sports necklace – and Nixie, the bracelet that is actually a flying drone that will take your selfies and return to your wrist. It’s like a falcon, if the falcon was actually a robot that could take your picture.
