Gesture-Controlled Air Toys

The SpinMaster Supernova Does Away with the Remote Control System

As much as flying remote control toys give kids the freedom to navigate the skies, learning how to successfully operate the system can pose a challenge—this is not an issue for the all-new SpinMaster Supernova, which boasts simple, intuitive and gesture-based controls.

The Air Hogs Supernova that was introduced at the New York Toy Fair is set to offer an easy way for kids to manipulate the flying toy with their hands, or potentially even their feet. The flying drone toy boasts five motion sensors and reacts to one's body movements in order to change direction up and down, as well as side to side.

As the remote control system can turn into an obstacle of play, this toy offers an experience that will be easy for kids to pick up, as well as teach to their peers.
