BMW CAN NOW CONTROLS - GOPRO CAMERA

A BMW Can Now Control A GoPro Camera

Because Why Not

Goodmorning Everybody On Tuesday

As a result of new partnership between GoPro and BMW, it's never been

easier to record your hoonage antics.  Select late-model BMW cars will

soon be able to control GoPro cameras directly from the dash.  just click

record on the dash of the car and the connected GoPro cameras click

to life.

Starting in july, the owner of a 2012 or later properly equipped BMW or

Mini Cooper will be able to control Wi-Fi enabled GoPro cameras.  The Go-

Pro app has to be installed on an iPhone connected to the BMW.  Once

connected, the driver can select the GoPro app through BMW Connected

Drive or Mini connected menu.  From there, the driver can view the cam-

er's field of view and control recording.  The camera streams near-live 

video to the dash while the vehicle is stationary.  But once the tires spin,

the preview clicks off.

This integration addresses the cumbersome, on-camera controls of Go-

Pro cameras.  Almost all of my GoPro videos start with a few seconds of

my head as i fumble with the controls.  Previously, GoPro introduced 

the Wi-Fi-enabled GoPro Hero 3+ camera that allows owners to use 

smartphone apps to preview camera placement and intiate recording.

BMW takes that thought one step farther.

This sort of integration is the next step for gadget makers.  Car compa-

nies are increasingly looking for ways to differentiate themselves from the 

the rest and embracing consumers brands, like GoPro, Apple and Google, 

is a keen way to gain an edge. == TechCrunch.
