27-year old Australian, Simon Kantor has invented the the world’s first selfie-snapping drone, reports news.com.au.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ROAM-e is a water-bottled sized flying device that is “programmed to recognise users\u2019 faces and automatically follow them around to capture video or photos, staying one to three metres away.”<\/p>\n

The device is reportedly selling extremely well in both Australia and American chain-stores, with 250,000 devices expected to sell before Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were talking about trending products and selfie sticks and we were we like \u2018how can we make the selfie stick better?’,\u201d Kantor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an offhand remark, I said we could make it fly. A few hours later I had a concept. Twelve months later we have an actual ROAM-e.\u201d<\/p>\n
