# Voice-Activated Camera Remotes The GoPro 'Remo' Responds to Voice Commands to Control Cameras By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-remotes References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/gopro-remo/46641/) & [shop.gopro](http://shop.gopro.com/accessories-2/remo-waterproof-voice-activated-remote/AASPR-001.html) The new [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-action-camera) Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session have the ability to respond to voice commands, so the GoPro 'Remo' camera remotes are intended to help expand this functionality. If your GoPro camera is out of hearing distance, the GoPro 'Remo' enables users to speak to the device to perform commands in order to help expand the capabilities of the action camera. The GoPro 'Remo' is designed to be clipped onto your clothing or worn on your wrist and features a waterproof rating for up to 16-feet. While you won't be able to speak to it under water, the GoPro 'Remo' camera remotes are also outfitted with a simple record button that can be physically used if voice control isn't possible or not wanted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Voice-activated Camera Remotes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop voice-activated camera remotes for other camera brands to enhance user experience and expand market opportunities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Action Camera:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore voice-activated features and accessories for action cameras to stay ahead in the competitive market. - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate voice-activated capabilities into wearable technology devices, such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, to enhance user convenience and hands-free operation. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate voice-activated controls into various consumer electronic devices, like smartphones and home automation systems, to provide users with a seamless and intuitive user interface experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Sports-Ready Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-action-camera.md) - [Accessory-Focused Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-1.md) - [Illuminating Budget-Friendly Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-lit-hero.md) - [Wearable Athlete Smartphone Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-control-wearable-remote.md) - [Portable Action Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-12-black.md) - [Miniature Action Wireless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-go-3.md) - [Compact Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gopro-hero-11-black-mini.md) - [Thumb-Sized Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-action-camera.md) - [Limited-Edition Forest Green Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero13-black-camera.md)
