A recent viral video of a guy singing the Fleetwood Mac song Dreams, while skateboarding down the road, was swiftly followed by a similar video from Mick Fleetwood himself. But isn't it a bit dangerous for 73 year-olds to be filming themselves like that? Your task is to design a drone control system that uses information like bluetooth signals and computer vision to automatically follow a moving person, taking good quality aerial close-up video of someone on a skateboard, bicycle, or just walking. The result would be great for sports coverage, and could even be the future of mobile Zoom.
