SkyPan International, an aerial imaging provider, was recently awarded a U.S. Patent for its remote-controlled helicopter camera technology. The mini helicopter, called the Remote Piloted Vehicle (RPV), can take 360-degree panoramic images up to 400 feet in the air and is targeted to real estate developers. SkyPan creates wide landscape photography for planners, developers, and realtors for sales or community presentations, allowing their clients to see the view from a building before it’s been built. Headquartered in Chicago, SkyPan has seen most major U.S. cities to give bird’s-eye-view in photographs.
“It’s the value of the visual,” explained SkyPan International President Mark Segal in an interview with DigitalCameraInfo.com.
