ÆTHER / Platform
FOLLOWCAM. Not route following — camera work.
A paid session gets a beacon. The system identifies it, keeps it in frame through motion and occlusion, chooses cinematic angles, and delivers the finished cut — with no operator on site.
Identify. Track. Direct. Deliver.
The customer never touches the controls and never picks themselves on a screen. The only identifier is an active beacon tied to the order — which is what makes the loop safe to automate.
The launch panel, as the operator sees it.
This is a live mock of the ÆTHER operations console: the surveyed corridor on the left, the aircraft's feed and telemetry on the right. Press launch and watch a session run its full automatic cycle.
REC
Interface mock running real session logic — states, corridor and safeguards mirror the production console. The safety loop (geofence, weather, telemetry quality, battery reserve, return-to-home) runs independently of the AI director.
From dock to relaunch without a human.
The requirement is not "follow me" — it is an industrial cycle: purchase, beacon binding, dock launch, coordinate following, automatic filming, landing, charging, relaunch, delivery. Each state has its own guards.
The director is a library, not a joystick.
Every venue scenario is assembled from pre-validated camera profiles. A new use case is a configuration — route, safety, angles, edit template — not a new project.
Every failure already has an answer.
The safety loop runs independently of the AI director. When something degrades, the aircraft does not improvise — it executes the rule written for exactly that event.
One tag. One hero.
Identification is coordinate-based, not visual. The client's beacon streams position, course and speed; the server computes a safe drone position and a camera target from it. No biometrics, no face database, no risk of switching to a look-alike vehicle.
A consumer tracker cannot do this job — the beacon is a controlled device with a guaranteed coordinate stream, predictable latency and direct telemetry.
See where it earns.
The same loop runs on trails, courts, fields and resorts.
