In 2020, Sony has largely focused on releasing the PlayStation 5. However, the company has not lost sight of its goals and has continued to work on side projects while ensuring the commercialization of its game console. is on all fronts, the company sells headphones, game consoles, televisions, cameras, smartphones, and more.
Recently, Sony notably bought the VOD platform specializing in anime: Crunchyroll. The Japanese company now has a comfortable place in the streaming business. But that’s not all. A few months ago, the brand unveiled a brand new project called Airpeak. During this presentation, it was complicated to really define this project. Sony had not made it clear whether it was going to be a drone, or a dedicated development platform for drones.
This time we’re sure it’s a drone. Sony took advantage of CES 2021 to launch this brand new product. During a virtual conference, Sony presented this drone capable of carrying an Alpha range camera, and doped with AI to provide a stabilized image during flight.
