Recent concerns over privacy made users worried about having smart devices in their homes particularly with cameras pointing out at all times. On this device, the camera is always pointing down unless the user is activating it.
The side arm is equipped with a camera and a projector. The camera helps the device understand its location and its surrounding, to be able to project the image in the right perspective and direction. the side arm can be pointed in almost any direction thanks to the vertical and horizontal 360 degrees rotation, to be able to film anything and project on any surface.
The security feature is way more efficient than any other security camera because of its mobility. The 4 microphones can locate if it hears an unusual sound, the camera would then follow the noise and track the movement. Thanks to your Google Photos database, the device is able to identify if it is someone you know.
