Noah Baumbach wanted to challenge audiences with Marriage Story, making them sit in the discomfort and tension of a relationship falling apart. He probably didn’t know that his audience was going to be wolves, though. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the famous fight scene between Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson from Baumbach’s award-winning drama is just one tool the United States Department of Agriculture has started to use in an effort to scare the growing wolf (and hung

A Hiker Was Missing for Nearly a Year—Until an AI System Recognized His Helmet

How long does it take to identify the helmet of a hiker lost in a 183-hectare mountain area, analyzing 2,600 frames taken by a drone from approximately 50 meters away? If done with a human eye, weeks or months. If analyzed by an artificial intelligence system, one afternoon. The National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps, known by it’s Italian initialism CNSAS, relied on AI to find the body of a person missing in Italy's Piedmont region on the north face of Monviso—the highest peak in the Co

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-12-15 12:30:00

The 360 camera company Insta360 has entered the drone market with a spin-off brand called Antigravity. This new company hasn't released a drone yet, but it's coming soon and will likely have a slightly different take from current market leaders like DJI. Antigravity's drone is expected to feature 360 cameras with 8K resolution. It will also fall under the 250-gram weight limit, meaning it won't require a license.

SkyRover X1 may be a DJI drone in disguise, amid US soft ban on Chinese drones

In context: When the SkyRover X1 drone appeared on Amazon, it arrived with little fanfare but quickly captured the attention of enthusiasts and industry analysts alike. Priced at $758 and offering a feature set strikingly similar to DJI's well-known Mini 4 Pro, the X1 stood out in a market now conspicuously lacking official DJI drones. That fact alone made its debut noteworthy as major US retailers and online platforms had largely run out of DJI products, leaving would-be buyers with few mainst

The Best 360 Camera Maker Is Making an ‘Immersive’ Drone and DJI Should Be Very Worried
