Gimbals and drones already offer motive tracking to automatically keep a person in the frame this was recently a topic again with the 3-axis smartphone gimbal

Roll Cam Ai puts the camera/tripod combination on motorized rollers and thus allows it to drive around independently, somehow AI-controlled. A module for machine vision and LiDAR should be part of the system, along with a power supply. In addition to automatically tracking a person, it should also be possible to specify movement paths, for example. More detailed information about the system is still scarce according to a pre-launch page, interested parties can already register and pay one dollar to secure a price of 249 dollars for Roll Cam Ai as a "VIP backer"; this is supposed to represent a discount of up to 65% compared to the final price. But before rushing into a reservation and reserving a Roll Cam system, you should definitely look at the small print (if you can find it), because the provider Berkshire Computing has not yet appeared with similar products (or at all). Whether the system, as the "World&s First Robotic Ai Camera Man," can actually replace a professional camera operator, as the announcement suggests, may be doubted. ![]() That&s not to say that such a solution can be quite useful for some applications there was a similar idea as a DIY project back in 2012: the ![]() Bild zur Newsmeldung:
