Introducing the unique AR.Drone controlled using Wi-Fi technology
The Parrot AR.Drone represents an unprecedented phenomenon as the ultimate flying toy, featuring powerful brushless motors providing generous lift from the four propellers, combined with a package of sophisticated electronics, to make it easy and fun to fly.
Offering the world's first quadricopter designed to be flown indoors or outside with an iPhone®, iPod touch® or iPad™ using touch screen Wi-Fi® technology, the Augmented Reality Drone features an autopilot facility to take itself off, hover at a predetermined height, and land automatically upon command.
Simply tilt the iPhone® to make the model travel forwards, backwards and sideways, left or right. Having mastered these basic techniques, slide the virtual throttle forward to climb and hold in a hover, then press land to safely descend. A range of Apps let you even film your flight from the Drones cameras!

Simply tilt the iPhone® to make the model travel forwards, backwards and sideways, left or right. Having mastered these basic techniques, slide the virtual throttle forward to climb and hold in a hover, then press land to safely descend.
Diagonal movements will make the AR.Drone spin slowly in either direction, with a clever variable rate adjustment for increased control. Release the screen for immediate stabilisation. Accidental contact with the rotors will cause them to stop.
Suitable for both beginners and experts, the AR.Drone features a robust carbon fibre framework, with a tough expanded polypropylene foam protective body for indoor use. A streamlined hull is provided for flying outside, with pairs of red and green LED lights conveniently fitted front and back for added effect, and to assist orientation.
The AR.Drone generates its own Wi-Fi connection with a range of up to fifty metres, and incorporates an onboard computer.
A pair of electronic gyroscopes provide superb directional stability controlling the pitch, roll angle and yaw, even outdoors in light winds.
Whilst an ultrasound altimeter maintains the height up to six metres, combined with an accelerometer designed to accurately detect horizontal and vertical movement.
A vertical and horizontal video camera selectively feed live footage to an on screen display on the iPhone® or similar, with a high speed of sixty frames a second providing stabilisation for the vertical camera. An innovative detection system will identify other AR.Drones, or tagged virtual objects, whilst validating the shots fired against an enemy, when used with AR.FlyingAce.
The brilliant AR.Pursuit flying video game combines augmented reality with actual remote control, allowing interactive combat between up to three quadricopters, with the outdoor hulls available in different attractive colour schemes to facilitate recognition
Of all the products we see this has truly got to be the coolest - the Parrot AR Drone lets you fly the quad rotared machine by tilting your iPhone, iPad or iTouch and you're rewarded with full motion video back. Simply amazing. A range of Apps from the App store let you control the Drone, including filming what it sees.
We've had the thrill of testing one of these products ourselves and everyone of us in the Monster office was blown away by it, it really is that cool and a serious piece of 'must have' kit!
With 2 cameras, 4 rotors, a carbon fibre frame and its own wi-fi hotspot this really is about as high tech as it gets right now - the very sharpest end of cutting edge tech!
