The growing markets of wearables and commercial drones collide thanks to Stanford postdoctoral researcher Christoph Kohstall, who has developed a drone that you can wear on your wrist.

The unmanned aircraft, called Nixie, is billed as the world's first wearable drone and is designed to give users the opportunity to take the best photos, according to CNET.

Functioning as a camera that can fly, the Nixie will let users take photos in situations that wouldn't work with a regular camera or phone, such as climbing a mountain or going on a bike ride and flying over a huge jump.

The first form the drone takes is that of a large bracelet, but performing a gesture with your wrist will cause the aircraft to unfold and take the form of a small quadcopter. While operating, the device can determine where its user is standing while it takes a picture or records a video, CNET reported.

The Nixie is currently one of the 10 finalists that are participating in the Make It Wearable (MIW) Challenge, a competition between researchers coming up with new inventions in the wearable technology field, autoevolution reported. The challenge was started by Intel nine months ago with thousands of participants from around the world, but it is now down to 10 teams.

Wearable fans will have to wait until early November to find out who will win the challenge, CNET reported.

The winner will receive a prize of $500,000 in cash, which will be used to make improvements to the project and bring it closer to being a real product.
