DRONIES:
A NEW TREND TO REPLACE SELFIES
From Papal visits to the Oscars, no event is now complete without a "selfie" to document the day. But the widespread trend for the self-portrait photographs, taken on a mobile at an arm´s lengh, could now be usurped by the dronies- photos or videos taken by a drone.
This new phenomenon known as dronie, where people look at a quadcopter flying above them, is getting more and more popular. Its arrival may mean selfies are no longer the new cool thing.
Unlike the selfies, where people usually appear squashed in at an awkward angle, this trend results in high quality recorded films.
According to reports, experts predict that drones will become trendier in tourist destinations, as they will be able to pilot themselves, following the subject around automatically.
Tony Saunders, general manager of Tourism New Zealand Australia, says they have a drone project designed to attract younger tourists who are fond of taking selfies. He noted that popular selfies and dronies were "getting a lot of attention". The drones can capture full HD videos of tourists for eight seconds, beginning with a close-up of the subject and then later the background to provide them a unique opportunity to take amazing videos or photos of their vacation experience. Saunders believes that dronies have become a creative way of recording people´s memories. The tourists featured in the short drone videos will be sent their recorded films via email so that they can share their memories on social media sites.
Drone experts predict that the use of these remote-controlled flying objects will also catch on outside the tourism industry.
