>> i am the community manager. i get people excited about our projects which is easy. >> host: how does this work? we heard a little about what it is but demonstrate it. >> this is a flying camera you wear. this is just a prototype the final product is more beautiful, smaller and easier to wear. but the prototype works. we demonstrated it live last night and i that was very exciting. what happens is you will be going throughout your day, if there is something you want to capture, you take it off the wrist, it will expand and be as easy as gesturing. you will toss it. it is smart enough to know the direction you toss it and the pressure. if it is gentle it will go

further away. it will compose a photo, take a photo and come back. >> host: it will shoot video? >> it will do a photo, burst of photos or a short video. >> host: who came up the idea? >> the founder is a couple where she is a physics student and they missed their daughters first stepped and thought they need something that would allow them to capture this moment. and have been developing it ever since. >> host: what is this? >> you are seeing the idea of how the product will work. >> host: she is throwing the drones. >> this is demonstrating the boom rang mode where you will toss it out, it goes where it came prom and comes back to that point on its own. >> host: he throws it out and it comes back at some point.

>> yes it has a camera so it is good. >> host: $500000 awarded. when is the product on the market? >> as soon as we can. we just won the contest two months ago and we spent that time developing the protocol and the next step is refine it make it more beautiful and comfortable to wear and very organic and easy to use. >> host: and where is this based? >> it is based in california. we have team members all over the place and are looking to expand. >> host: the winner of the intel wearable contest. thank you. another one of the company's exhibiting at international ces is called parrot based in paris.

what does it do? how long have you been around? >> guest: 20 years. five years we have been doing drones for the consumer market. the brand new one you can see there. it is a small saucer safe and secure. so you have a front camera. it is 180 degree field and what is great is you can take your share or you can recall the video. and it is nad and it sends you a 180 degree lens. just when you are doing something you move the window regarding the center and you have the most stable video with

the drone. >> host: you said you are doing this for the consumer market. for people that like to play video games? this is not for business or anything? >> not for business. just people who like to fly and they go do it. and here with the video you can have the video recording of what you are doing even if you are skiing or having fun with friends or family. and also we have the sky controller. that is the remote control. so you can have a small wi-fi and go up to two kilometers in the air with that. and the safety control is precise. and the battery and connection are good. so it is a great experience.

you put your gloves on and it is flying and a great experience. >> host: if you want to download the video that you shot from the drone does it do that automatically? >> guest: you have the video on there drone and you can download it wi-fi to tablet or smart phone or cuonnect the dren by the usb. -- drone -- >> host: what is the price tag? >> guest: little one is $599 and big one is $899. >> host: are they selling well in the united states? >> guest: yes. >> host: had you did you get into this? >> guest: we were doing the

smart phone devices like car keys head phones, and so we wanted to go to toys and so we said okay we wanted to do a car but we said it is not working so we did this. >> host: this is someone of the products made in paris. days like this make them interconnective devices. what is your position? >> guest: i am a product manager and i work on the current range of the market venues. >> host: the product you are holding is one of the ces award winners. what is this? >> guest: this is one of the best innovations throughout ces.

it is usually, this gets your stuff from the car. we are on the back and we design it to be integrated fully to any car. it has the possibility of gps navigation to get digital and analog channels to get audio in and out we improved the integration into the car as it is for the connectors and information from the car and bring it to the driver. you can ask them there and the full experience. >> host: so it is in the category of interconnectedness.

would you demonstrate it for me? >> guest: yes please follow me. we also have this in addition because we are compliant with apple car play and google android also. >> host: apple users and android users can use it? >> guest: yes, and if you have a window phone that is not a big deal because we have blue tooth and wi-fi. you can be fully connected to four phone just keep it in your pocket. and you can use the voice recognition features. >> host: so this is the product. >> guest: this is the product. as you can see on the apple

phone and on the -- this is an example of the upright navigation. this extends to the phone and grabs all of the information from the phone to the head unit. >> host: okay. >> guest: or if you want to listen to music just get the information from your music and who is playing here. >> host: this is built into the car? >> guest: everything is built into the car. we have a mode that is an android 5 as well. it grabs all of the information from the car as i was saying to get you a full understanding. it can give you notes on the way you brake, use your gasoline and history of previous drives.

or if you have a value that impairs you. >> how does this unit know you have a flat tire? how does it sense that? >> guest: information is provided by the car and the car is -- say that it can't read information, we grab it throughout the connector and bring it to the driver. and i was telling you we are also in compliance with android. it is the same way as the apple car play. >> host: there is the android. >> guest: this is the nexus five. you can chose to use the application from the phone or the onboard navigation system. you are the one that decides.

>> host: are you able to perhaps monitor your house through this device? >> guest: with the application throughout the buyer mode everything is possible. >> host: e-mail? >> guest: e-mail not so safe for driving. everything is possible technically. >> host: thank you very much. >> guest: no problem. >> host: here at the international ces in las vegas the gopro is a big one and kelly logo is here. what is gopro? >> guest: it is an amazing

camera. >> host: who founded it? >> guest: it started because a man wanted to take pictures of him and a friend surfing and it evolved into this. >> host: cameras are old school aren't they? well cell phones? >> guest: these are more proactive. if you want to get high quality footage you can take great photos and video. >> host: so we are looking at this smallcamera. what is the technology? >> guest: we have the ability of 1080 which is incredible for a small camera and this one is the four silver and it is amazing

quality but has an integrated led skin so you can scan up the shoot and review the footage from the camera. >> host: this is still and video? >> guest: yes. >> host: and how does everything in here get to the the tv screen? >> guest: there is a few ways. we have a gopro app you can use from the wi-fi through the camera. you can send to smart phones or mobile device where you can offload and control the content from there. you have a gopro studio so if you connect the camera sd card thoo to the computer you can up load it to the studio and share it through the world. >> host: here in the display you have a dog wearing a camera and a little kid. >> guest: gopro is the most

verse versetile camera. you can prop it to you are bike or child or dog. >> host: and the quality of the video here? we have this big camera we are shooting some of the display. how does it compare? >> guest: it is great. pretty durable. 4-k-30 so breath taking amazing footage. i go to a local distributor so whether that is target or wal-mart wal-mart. i buy it, go on the mountain and i am like i want great shots, go and capture content, use gopro studio and share it on social media. and here is editing software. jake would be able to give you a demo but you take content from the camera, offload it on the computer edit and trim and save

an edited through the interface. we try to make it as easy as possible for our user. we created gopro through the template which is a pre-edited template where you can drag and drop the footage. >> host: what was your background before gopro? >> i was working by another company that was acquired by gopro and part of that was to develop an editing tool for gopro. we spent the last few years making the studio software. >> host: it looks complicated. >> it is not. it just has a big screen. it is easy. you have set two edits, set three export, and the first launch is aa tutorial and step

one is where you go through the footage, add it to the conversion, convert the files into the kodak and once you do that the trimmed versions show up over here. and instead of the big long recordings you recorded to the camera you have this little highlight part you like. and from here you drag each one down in the story board and then you tell it to play that one. you can try special effects here. instagram presets and you can upload the clip. and this is happening non de destructively. >> host: how much video can that little camera hold? >> shooting at 30 frames per

second in hd it would hold about four hours of content. the higher quality mode takes the time. if you have a bigger card you can shoot more and higher resolutions shorten the amount. basically hd 1080 p30 is four hours. >> host: and the editing suite comes with the camera? >> it is a free download and it will work with gopro and other cameras that are random. if you have a camera that shoots in that format you might try it and see if it works. >> host: why wasn't this done before? >> guest: i think a lot of people wanted to do this but

never found the right parts or that specific pieces. he found it worked hard to put it together, and here it is today. >> host: gopro is one of the buzzing booths here at the international ces show. another foreign company exhibiting here from china. jack ford is with the company and what do you do with this company and where are you? >> guest: i am based in plano, texas and i am a training manager. >> host: what the business? >> guest: we are the third largest phone manufacturer in the world. we manufacture smart phones and tablets that is where we are the third largest but we do

networks, routers, we create everything in the telecommunication worldwide and in that area we are number one in the networks side of things worldwide. >> host: and where were you based? >> guest: in china. >> host: do you have products selling in the united states? >> guest: we just signed up for six and a half years in multiply carriers in the u.s. having our products and we are adding more. >> host: can somebody buy a phone from you in the united states? a cellphone? >> guest: absolutely. >> host: how are they selling? we hear about samsung and apple. >> guest: we doing well. we started selling one of our devices on our own website and that has been doing well and we

plan to expand that. >> host: is manufacturing cell phones profitable? >> guest: if you do it the right way definitely. >> host: let me see some of the phones. >> guest: this is part of the honor line. it has a beautiful screen. it is a five and a half full hd screen. has one of the lang est battery life on the market. it means two to two and a half days on one card which is huge for consumers. >> host: using the android operating system? >> guest: yes. android. the cameras are the unique feature. >> host: cameras? >> guest: correct. there are three cameras. you can see dual 8 mega pixels

cameras with a dual led flash. and we have an 8 mega pixel on the front. so the dual cameras are for a specific purpose and i will do a quick demonstration. i am take a picture and then show you the capabilities. you can get a unique perspective on the image. if you capture the shutter button it gives you the opportunity to change them or refocus the image so you can refocus what is in the background and put this out of focus and you can change it or whatever you would like to do. not only can you do that but you can change the aperture on it. and you can bring it more out of focus to bring the focus into the area. or you can lower it down. and that keeps everything in

balance and focused. so very unique feature along with the great filters where the images and then the front camera is unique because it is an 8 mega pixel camera on the front giving full hd selfies or video calls. >> host: are these phones available in at&t and verizon stores? >> guest: this device just launched a week and a half ago so it is only available in china and the expansion plant is not given to us yet. >> host: what kind of expansion plans does the company for have the united states? >> guest: i cannot get into a lot of detail but we are moving forward in the united states with devices. our plan is to bring the honor line which is a new line of

devices. we have three shown here. we will bring them to the u.s. this year. the "the communicators" on location in las vegas for the international ces show. largest trade show in the world. if you are interested in seeing more programming you can go to cspan.org/communicators. >> coming up on c-span2.
