BEIJING — A Chinese startup has developed a drone equipped with facial recognition technology that takes aerial selfies of its user. <br /> <br /> <br />The drone is dubbed the Hover Camera Passport and was developed by Zero Zero Robotics in Beijing. <br /> <br /> <br />The Hover Camera Passport can fly up to 17 mph and climb as high as 16 feet, according to Mashable. The device can be remotely controlled by a smartphone. One battery charge can power up to 10 minutes of flight time. <br /> <br /> <br />The camera has face- and body-tracking functions, according to Hover Camera Passport’s official website. It can also orbit around the user to take photographs from all angles. <br /> <br /> <br />The Hover Camera Passport costs $599, which Mashable reported is much cheaper than other products on the market with similar functions. <br /> <br />The company has labeled the device a “flying camera,” and has been reluctant to call it a drone, Mashable reported.
