Xiaomi launched a tiny camera with AI cost $ 55
On Xiaomi crowdingfunding, there was a "smart" camera to capture the bright moments of life - Xiaomo AI Camera. The novelty is created by the same team that once designed the VR-helmet Mi VR.
What does she know?
Xiaomo AI Camera is equipped with a 13-megapixel sensor Samsung with a phase autofocus, as well as optics with aperture f / 2.2 and a viewing angle of 76 degrees, although it would not hurt a wide-angle lens. Inside the processor with four cores ARM Cortex-A53 on frequency 1.35 GHz is used. Unlike Google Clips, the camera does not monitor every movement of the user and removes only on command (either by pressing a button or gesturing the hand to clench).
The gadget recognizes faces in the frame and can automatically apply "enhancers" to smooth the tone and hide the skin imperfections. Actually, this is the whole work of artificial intelligence. Photos and HD-video (720p) are stored on a microSD memory card, and there is also a wireless Wi-Fi module for sending footage to the smartphone and setting camera modes in the mobile application.
Developers well thought out the question of installing Xiaomo AI Camera on various surfaces. Inside the plastic box, 47x47x27 mm in size and weighing only 65 grams, there are magnets that are attracted to metal objects. If there were not such a number, the back panel is removed and used as a stand that is attached to glass, concrete walls and even trees. The adhesive plate should be periodically rinsed with water, and when the material is worn out (promise up to 500 uses), an additional plate is included.
The stand allows you to adjust the angle of the camera. The capacity of the battery is 910 mAh. Full charge should be enough for 2000 shots, although the actual figures may depend on the mode.
How much is?
At the Xiaomi crow crowding, the device can be bought for 349 yuan, which is about $ 55. Deliveries will begin in April. Xiaomo AI Camera - a curious product, but it is unlikely to become massive. Recently on Kickstarter launched a similar project of a portable camera Caply (from $ 70), but it will have to carry a set of mounts that are sold separately, and voice control may not work in noisy conditions.
