AR.Drone: Sky-high future for augmented-reality gaming
,----[ Quote ]
| It's certainly a clever beast. The four-bladed
| "quadricopter" uses an onboard Linux-based
| computer to process information from its
| cameras, accelerometers and gyroscope to
| ensure level flight, while direction and speed
| are controlled by tilting an iPhone, iPod
| Touch or any other device with a camera,
| screen and wi-fi connectivity.
