Companies like Pivo are developing new cameras that track their subjects and that don’t need someone to operate the device; a good option for people who need innovation and competent cameras, like many YouTubers and bloggers.
Smart suitcase
Nothing smarter than developing smart luggage.  Ovis Suitcase is a company that builds bags designed to follow you around at six miles per hour, no matter if you’re on the street or at the airport. These suitcases, which activate just by holding them, assist when your hands are busy or when you simply don’t want to have to think about your carry-on bag.
