This was the real showstopper at tonight’s pre-show CES event. Let’s face it, it’s pretty hard to compete with a giant, hovering remote-control toy–particularly when the remote is an iPhone. (The device is still in prototype mode, so the actual control being used at the show wasn’t an iPhone.)
When it’s complete, however, users will be able to view video streamed live from two cameras on the device. An augmented reality mode will add obstacles to the video, turning it into something of a real life video game in your backyard. Pretty neat. Parrot is even set to release an SDK for the device, so people can build their own apps around the AR.Drone.
Check out two videos of the device in action, after the jump.
