The AR.Drone is a groundbreaking device combining the best of many worlds, including modelling, video gaming and augmented reality. The AR.Drone is remote-controlled by an iPhone. The device features a number of sensors, including a front camera, a vertical camera and an ultrasound altimeter, and can be used in video games, such as AR.FlyingAce, a dogfight between two AR.Drones. This game incorporates augmented reality, especially for modelling missile fire.
The AR.Drone can potentially be controlled by any device with ad hoc Wi-Fi capability. To date, you can control your AR.Drone with an iPhone®, iPod touch® or iPad™. The Parrot AR.Drone has been designed for both inside and outside use. You can adapt it to any game situation using the two hulls provided.
