What Airwards Judges said:
An incredible technical achievement and development which combines drone imagery and artificial intelligence. This high level of adaptive innovation will have a myriad of exceptional real-world uses that will protect the public and the innocent – from event and mass gathering support and safety to improved capabilities in search and rescue. This programme is another component in the future of drone technology that needs to see increased adoption, while balancing the privacy of individuals, both of which VIZGARD is on the path to helping with.
