A vision for a brighter future
Popular culture would often have us believe the future is bleak – a science fiction dystopia where humankind is subjugated by the very machines we’ve created. But that’s not the future we see.
Instead, informed optimism rules our day-to-day. We see a utopian future where humans, machines and the technology that connects us come together in perfect harmony – a seamless real-world interaction that serves our needs as well as those of every creature on the planet. And even the planet itself, for that matter.
This way of thinking applies to few people more than our founders, Nilson and Vincent, whose vision of the future framed by that limitless optimism is what drove Nomoko into being back in 2015.
“The world itself can be our new user interface to limitless digital experiences, services and apps.”

Individually we are engineers, developers, designers, mechanics, marketers, pilots, financiers, entrepreneurs and more. Together, we’re building a new world.
We capture and process all Mirror World Data ourselves, first as aerial and street level 2D images using drones. And as we don’t use anyone else’s data we have full ownership and control, so you can use them how you want, as much as you want.
Different countries have different laws and regulations in place to make sure drones are used safely and responsibly, and we adhere to these at all times.
From January 2021 we'll have approval from the Swiss Federation of Civil Aviation (FOCA) to fly our drones nationwide and until then we follow all Swiss regulations and legislation in terms of where we can fly.
We also have in place all the necessary liability insurance required by Swiss law under Article 20 of the Swiss DETEC Ordinance on Special Category Aircraft. As part of this, we make sure our drone pilots always maintain visual contact with their drones and keep them at least 100 meters away from crowds as described under Article 17 of the Swiss DETEC Ordinance on Special Category Aircraft.
As we move into capturing cities in other countries, we make sure we comply with all relevant laws before using our drones.
Under Swiss law there is currently no legal minimum flight altitude over private properties, meaning we'd have to fly very low and close to your property to violate any regulations (which we don't!).
Typically we fly our drones at an altitude of around 100 meters, which is well above this level. Our drones are also categorized as under 30kg, which means we don't need a permit under Article 14 of the Swiss DETEC Ordinance on Special Category Aircraft.
If you have any concerns about us flying over your property, feel free to get in touch and we can discuss it.
Faces, people and vehicle number plates aren't recognizable in the pictures our drones capture, so no one can use them to identify you, which means the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection isn't applicable.
As we move into capturing cities in other countries, we make sure we comply with all relevant laws before using our drones.
If you think you've spotted one of our drones not complying with applicable law or if you have any concerns about us flying over your property, feel free to get in touch and we can discuss it.
Yes. We're in direct contact with the local police and relevant authorities to tell them the location we're flying over, when we're flying and for how long, as well as who the pilots are.
We follow the evolution of local and regional drone legislation and regulations closely and are working with the Swiss Federation of Civil Aviation (FOCA) to make sure we always follow the highest operation standards and meet Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) guidelines.
