About this announcement

DJI introduced a new capability for the Neo 2 drone, allowing users to activate and manage its smart follow feature directly from an Apple Watch. The integration is designed to let users set up tracking without needing to pull out a phone or dedicated controller.

According to the company's description, this feature is aimed at active scenarios like skiing, where keeping hands free and staying in the moment is a priority. By shifting the control interface to a wearable, DJI aims to make the drone's autonomous tracking more accessible during fast-paced activities.

Design ideas to consider

When introducing a wearable integration for a hardware product, a designer could structure a short video around the physical interaction. A creator might try opening the video with a tight, clear view of the watch interface being tapped, immediately establishing the new control method before showing the resulting hardware action.

To emphasize the hands-free benefit of a feature like smart follow, a designer could focus on the activity itself. A video team might contrast the brief moment of setup on the watch with a longer, uninterrupted sequence of the user engaging in a sport, illustrating how the technology fades into the background once activated.

Ideas for your own video

  • Ground wearable feature announcements by clearly showing the watch interface before demonstrating the resulting action.
  • Use high-action environments to demonstrate why a hands-free or quick-access control method is valuable to the user.
