The FLYbi device is a controlled gesture drone that uses the motions of the flyer's wrist to create an autonomous flying experience. Better yet, once the drone has fully taken off and is steady in the air the device switches to being controlled by the flyer's head movements for a more fluid gliding experience.
Drones are a popular commodity offering a seamless user experience that often pairs with gesture control so that the user's body directs the device. While most drones that have gesture control tend to use the arm or wrist to stir, the FLYBi drone goes one step further taking cues from the user's head movements on where to go. The drone is also coupled with a VR headset to give flyers a bird's eye view of the flying experience.
What's Driving This Trend
- Gesture-controlled Drones
- The use of gesture control in drones is expanding to include the flyer's head movements.
- Autonomous Flying Experiences
- The FLYbi drone offers a fully autonomous flying experience, controlled by the user's body movements.
- VR and Drones
- Coupling VR headsets with drones is becoming more popular, allowing users to experience a bird's eye view of the drone's flight.
Who This Affects Most
- Drone Manufacturing
- Drone manufacturers can explore implementing gesture and body control in their products to improve user experience.
- Virtual Reality
- Virtual reality companies can collaborate with drone manufacturers to enhance the flying experience for users.
- Photography
- Photographers can leverage the autonomous flying capabilities of drones to capture new and unique perspectives in their work.
