This sequence feels computer generated but it was shot in Alaska using a GoPro HERO3+ on the DJI Phantom quadrotor helicopter. It feels like a tiny ice tunnel until you notice the two guys standing inside and you realize that this hole is huge. The entire video is beautiful.
Smartphones have begun to demonstrate a greater degree of robustness, where there are more and more handsets arriving with waterproof capability. How about drones? I know one drone which would not jive well with water, and that would be the CUPID drone that delivers a whopping 80,000 volts via a stun gun.

No sir, Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc has other ideas – by working on unmanned cargo ships instead. In Rolls-Royce’s Blue Ocean development team, they have decided to set up a virtual-reality prototype at its office in Alesund, Norway, which is capable of simulating 360-degree views from a vessel’s bridge.
