Warm up your drone with a sweater

What started out as a joke turned into something that could be useful—at least for drone operators from colder climates. San Francisco-based artist Danielle Baskin has made sweater for drones and it might be what you’re looking for if you think your drone could be getting chilly.

Baskin told The Verge, “It started as a joke / art piece, but actually drone-owners in cold climates have told me that their drones have problems with their battery life during the winter. I was thinking that I should add pockets to the sweaters that can hold portable heaters to make the sweater electric so it keeps the drone at a warmer temperature, and actually this would be useful, if not just for novelty.” Aside from that, you can think of it as adding a sense of whimsy and approachability to the drone. Or you could just be dropping US$189 for a very funny accessory.

Sony PlayStation VR gets support for streaming app Jaunt

Sony PlayStation VR adds tons of video content onto its platform with the support for streaming app Jaunt. Considered the Netflix for virtual reality video content, Jaunt brings over 150 videos for VR headset users to enjoy. The videos are arranged by category and ready for consumption. The app is currently free with no monetization strategy in place at the moment but the company behind Jaunt says that paying content creators “is on the roadmap.” At the moment it’s a way for creators to show what they have for the VR space.

Videos on Jaunt are usually in the eight- to ten-minute range so you can easily get through a lot of them. But the fun thing with VR is you can change your perspective of a clip by looking in a different direction.
