VENICE, CALIFORNIA — (Marketwired) — 12/16/14 — , developer of The TRACEr1 – a visually intelligent camera capable of following its owner almost anywhere and live-streaming captured footage to the web – announced today, the close of its oversubscribed seed round with a raise of $2.5 million.
The round was led by the principles of Salman Partners with participation coming from various private sources within the Network.
Using proprietary video-as-a-sensor technology, The TRACEr1 has been designed to self-operate a series of motorized vehicles which will follow users into action and capture video which can then be seamlessly live-streamed to the web from a smartphone via the TRACE App.
The TRACEr1 represents an entirely new product category; an intelligent camera, able to “click-in” and “click-out” of, and control, several accessory vehicles designed to suit every user environment. Once required imaging and streaming preferences have been selected within the TRACE app, all vehicles will carry out autonomous video capture and live streaming.
Vehicles in development include; the FLYr1 quad copter designed for aerial video capture, DRIVEr ATV for ground-based capture and the FOLLOWr Gimbal Tripod.
The Founders behind the TRACE Live Network include; Cameron Chell, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of several notable technology startups including, and , and Paul Beard, celebrated inventor responsible for the original creation of the DVR and Internet Radio.
Mr. Chell said “The success of companies like GoPro has proven without doubt the desire by people to record their own great adventures. With TRACE, we–re aiming to ensure they are a part of these epic moments, rather than just the one filming them.”
TRACE Live Network will be officially launched in January at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and the TRACEr1 is expected to see retail availability in Q4 2015.
