Imagine this [flying robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-aqua-drone) as the future of communication technology. It serves as a camera, a communications device, a [fully operational computer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-computer) and more. It can track you around, film your best moves, receive a message from a friend and can turn in to a computer with a [projected keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eliteboard-g1a) and mouse. It can also recover files from your mobile phone. This video was produced to promote internships and careers in Computer Science at the MS Research Labs. It may take a long time for this dream to become reality, but who knows the advancement can reach things we all thought to be impossible.
