14 DAY TRIAL // Playing frisbee is one of the most widespread and popular games in the world, so it's not strange to hear that 3D printing technology is finally being used to make flying disks.
I wouldn't be reporting on it if it was just that, though. Well, maybe I would but fortunately I'm not desperate for topics this week.
The reason I'm really introducing you to the frisbee in the video below is because it's not just a frisbee.
Sure, the disk looks normal enough, but it also has a camera mounted on top. A camera that will film the world as it looks like from the perspective of a flying disk.
Fortunately, you don't have to worry about ending up with just a blurry mess. You see, the FrisbeeCam isn't simply glued to the disk and doesn't spin as madly as it does.
Instead, it is mounted on a free-moving, well, mount, and should be able to capture reasonably smooth footage.
Sure, it doesn't really help with the frisbee's aerodynamics, but the disk should be able to streak through the air easily enough regardless.
The ones who created the FrisbeeCam are Raymond Chan, Jian Shen, and John Gentilin. They submitted their invention through Maker Faires.
