A creator known for bold builds has revealed Flying Umbrella 2.0, a drone-powered umbrella that moves on its own. Unlike the first version, this one needs no controller at all. It floats above the user, tracking every step in real time. The goal is simple... stay dry without holding anything, even while walking outdoors in rain.
The device uses a smart depth camera and a tiny computer to understand where the person is. It creates a live 3D map and adjusts its position every second. Built with drone motors, printed parts, and lightweight arms, it reacts fast to movement. The umbrella stays centered above the user, even when they turn or stop suddenly.
While it looks futuristic, the project also raises real questions about daily use. Battery life, safety, and rules around flying devices still matter. Even so, the build shows how personal tech keeps evolving. A flying umbrella once sounded silly... now it feels oddly close to normal life. Would you trust one hovering above you in rain?
