Moggle Is Real

Readers of the Uglies series may remember Aya’s pal Moggle in Extras, a semi-intelligent hovercam that tracks her around, providing footage of her exploits for her feed.


It seems that someone has invented something similar, but called it Lily.



Lily, of course, uses rotors instead of magnetic lifters, and only has 20 minutes battery life. It costs $500 if preordered now before anyone has reviewed a real one, and will be twice that when it ships next February. (Buyer beware.)


Here’s the camera’s official site, and you can find tons of other articles around the web.


It’s not quite Moggle, but it’s proof of concept. And why wouldn’t we all want our own hovercam following us around?


(Thanks to everyone who sent me this!)

John Frost This is truly awesome technology. And your right, it's just like Moggle. At just little more than the price of a GoPro it sounds like a pretty good deal.

Little Sarah Gosh darn it!!! I just looked at the website and watched the video about it, and THE PROPAGANDA WORKED!!!! I WANT ONE!!!! But, I don't have $500 and come February I definitely won't have $1,000! The world is changing too fast for me and I. HATE. IT.

Sarah Duckworth Omg same thing happened to me. I read this and was like this is so stupid who would pay $500 for 20 minutes of battery life. Then I watched the video and now I must have but I will never
