Parrot AR Drone The Flying Video Game - Revolutionary Flying Gadget
If you have landed on this page either you know exactly what you are here for or curiosity has got the better of you. Ever wanted to own your very own 'super-hi-tech' flying gadget? Now you can, this amazing flying gadget is the FIRST EVER quadricopter that can be controlled by an iPod touch, iPhone or even your iPad!
The technology in this masterpiece of engineering is stunning. You are placed in the pilot seat of your very own aircraft. With on-board cameras you can see everything as you fly around with the agility and subtlety of a dragonfly.

Simple to control
The intuitive piloting means that anyone can control the AR.Drone, simply tilt your iPod, iPhone or iPad and you will be controlling the AR.Drone. When you release your tilt the system automatically corrects and stabilises itself. With the autopilot mode you will be taking off with ease, the AR.Drone will automatically take off and stabilise at a height of 2.6ft (80 cm). You might be thinking your Drone will come crashing to the ground the moment that you receive a call, but you would be wrong! The clever tech enables the Drone to automatically stabilise and land itself after a couple of seconds - ingenious! |

Stunning Design Tech
Lightweight carbon and high resistance plastic is used in the creation of the AR.Drone to ensure a robust structure so when you connect up and play games with your friends you can be sure that your Drone can hack the pace. Generating its own WiFi network anyone that you want to compete with can join up and get involved with your game at the same time! Are your skills better than your friends, put them to the test! |
Experience a different reality...
Every game is unique, whether inside or outside. Software developers are able to use both cameras of the AR.Drone to create Augmented Reality video games. The AR.Drone software includes Augmented Reality functions such as detecting other AR.Drone in flight, detecting and positioning markers on the ground and on the walls. Depending on the applications downloaded, it opens up a whole new world to users: they can take part in wild races in their own garden, or fight against aliens hidden in their living room. |
