The AR.Drone 2.0 is at the crossroads where high-end technology meets Icarus dream. Fly like a bird. View the earth from high above in high definition. Share your experience online with your friends. With the AR.Drone free app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, you will be close to fly like a bird.
Instrument upgrades such as a pressure sensor for better altitude control and new electronic assistance for better navigational control makes for more stable flying. As was the original, the AR.Drone 2.0 is still controlled via WiFi with an iPad, iPhone, or any tablet or smartphone with Android. The new HiDef video is fed realtime to the device screen, and recorded so you and your friends can relive the hairy moments. Better sensors allow the drone to fly higher than the original, and a new augmented reality feature recognizes shapes in its flight path and paints AR elements onto them.
