Summary
Hands down the coolest accessory we have ever seen, the Parrot AR.DRONE The Flying Video Game is a quadricopter (a helicopter with four propellers) that you control via Wi-Fi with your iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch! It features 2 onboard cameras that relay live video back to your device and a high tech onboard computer that actively helps to stabilise the AR.DRONE.
Thanks to intuitive piloting this clever gadget could not be easier to use. If you tilt your iPhone left the AR.DRONE banks to the left and if you tilt it to the right, the AR.DRONE banks to the right. There are also touch buttons to increase its altitude. Suited for both indoor and outdoor use, the AR.DRONE has a selection of games, downloadable from the app store, including FreeFlight and Pursuit (see video).
