Apple Inc has announced that the company has been granted a patent to develop an action camera with a remote control, reports Reuters.com.
The camera can be used by anyone, but it’s particularly for people involved in extreme sports activities. The new camera system can be secured to helmet or bike, or mounted to the front of a surfboard. The system will be also be equipped with a waterproof microphone to record video with underwater sound. To control the camera from a distance, the company will develop a remote control device, which will look like a hand watch.
