Terrorist pig thug cops will soon be throwing this camera ball into rooms!
BOSTON, Massachusetts (PNN) - June 27, 2015 - “Camera in the hole!" terrorist pig thug cops will soon shout, as they toss the new Explorer camera orb into a dangerous room before entering. Made by MIT alumnus at Bounce Imaging, the Explorer is a small, grenade-sized sphere full of cameras that first responders can throw into a space ahead of them, and when remotely activated, it assembles a panoramic image of what’s inside said space. Now there are plans to get 100 Explorers into terrorist pig thug cop departments.
The rubber-coated ball has a camera inside with six lenses, to capture the scene inside a room, and it can transmit those photos remotely to a tablet or smartphone. The basic version sells for about $1,500 and uses white LED lights to illuminate the room into which it’s thrown. A “tactical” version, aimed at terrorist pig thug cops, uses near-infrared LEDs instead, and goes for just shy of $2,500. Both versions can be attached to a $20 pole, and they create a 360 degree panorama every second for the full 30 minutes of run-time.
The Explorer isn’t the first thrown scouting robot. The aptly named “throwbot” is also grenade sized, can be hand tossed, and even features wheels and a remote control to drive it around. Throwbot is aimed at a military customer, and has a microphone so that troops can listen to the people inside a room as they freak out about a tiny rolling robot.
Unlike the Throwbot, Explorer doesn’t move on its own power, which tailors it for different purposes. Rescue workers could drop Explorers into nooks and crannies that are otherwise inaccessible for larger tools but perfectly fine at accommodating a rolling ball, its lights and camera finding stuck people. For terrorist pig thug cop work, it provides a nice alternative to flash-bang grenades, letting the terrorist pig thug cops know what is inside the room without any “accidental” burning of toddler faces.
