Hm...what if it was hooked up to your PC. What if it was able to fly far beyond your range of vision. What if there was a full-fledged *no pun intended* AR game in it? You have to hunt down invisible ghosts to save the world. I think its a good idea.
@StuffedAnimalPlanet you can mod it with the 3g network to fly 2.5km away from you, its totally possible and not that hard. As for that game idea, thats something the company should look into sounds pretty fun.
looks mint but i aint payin 300 euro for the drone and an extra 300 for an itouch or iphone gd idead tho sum how i tink u wudn find another person wit the drone so its basically an rc helicopter .. they shud sell the drone 2 for the price of one
When are the Android and Blackberry versions of this software going to be ready? This would be so awesome running this from the 7" screen on the Playbook. Or the Galaxy Tab.
dos eney one no how much theas cost 300 for the basic modle then the iphone on top of that then acseorys and you need to to play its fucking ridicluous!
When ot said fight I'm like fuck ya there gona fucking bump each other and rip each other apart and I'm like damn it when they started shooting fake misiled I'm like :/
theres a hack for connecting it to a dx6i helicopter and plane transmitter on youtube...costs about 80.usd aside from the transmitter but it seems worth it...this thing is amazing
looks pretty cool although I can see some problems with the controls, I would rather it come with a controller like a Xbox 360 or PS3 controller with the 2 analog sticks so you can control it better, touch screen controls aren't very good
wow that is so cool haha. So you can leave the building and still be in it lol on the game. Can you even spy on people lol haha. Your next door nabour. Thats just class lol haha
It's only a matter of time until we strap a couple glock 18 automatics, or mini-gatling guns on there. We already have satellite internet, so we'll find a way to control it through the internet, bouncing the signal off of satellites in space, and down to the drone, wherever it is ON THE EARTH, just like a satellite laptop. This means you don't have to worry about losing range. Middle of the Atlantic? No problem. You can be in Alaska, flying your drone in Tibet.
@iceman8067 Don't know if you're serious or not about that comment. But doing what you said isn't really possible due to bandwidth limit and latency in the connection from satellites.. :p
We encase the shell, cameras and components to be bulletproof and waterproof. We already have deep sea diving camera vessels which closely resemble these drones. A 3rd, underwater infrared camera with an underwater spotlight will allow the drone to dive into water, propelling itself using the tilt, possibly with 1 or 2 additional propellers at the rear, for forward momentum. This will allow a quick escape into a body of water, pulling back up into the air miles away.
Will they be indestructible? Of course not. But as they are, sale price is 300 bucks, which means the cost is probably around 150. Even with all this extra stuff loaded on, thus requiring more heavy duty construction, bigger propellers, etc.,
even if they turned into $5,000 a piece, you compare that with what our military spends on arms, the hundreds of thousands of dollars that it costs just to FIRE certain weapons currently, and you can quickly see how attractive this could become.
But here's the point: I think people forget that absolutely anyone in any country can get their hands on anything in this day and age. I guarantee you every military around the world is toying with this technology, right now.
So now anyone with the means, around the world, can have an entire fleet of flying, armed, bulletproof, waterproof, land, air and sea drones, that can go anywhere, see from above, lock on and fire remotely, and be controlled by a 5th grader eating cheetos, halfway around the world.
Amazing new innovations?
The beginning of the end?
I don't know. But I sure hope my future self sends a robot back in time to come save me from them in 2011. Thanks for hearing me out.
i imagined EVERYTHING about this when i was a kid ! now my dream finally came true !! goddamit i was born too fucking early !
but something is missing to complete my childhood dream: virtual enemies inserted in the real world so i can play like if the neighborhood was a real video game level.
WTF happened to our ability to have a single player where we kill augmented robots? Damnit Parrot i waited all this time for something i will never be able to use. >.> thanks a lot for nothing.
@darkwolfx333 Its supposed to come out "soon", thats what their website says anyways. I know they'll come out with another one because they have that other crap that came in the box, like that white cardboard with the skull and crossbones.
Touchscreen controlls will be very choppy on android devices, and most of them don't have a gyroscope of high enough quality and the devs have to port the app to every version of this fragmented OS.
This kind of sucks. What are the chances you'll meet someone else with a one-thousand-dollar set of gaming devices? o_O I mean: I have one. But no one else is crazy enough to buy this amazing piece of equipment.
I'd much much much rather see a game in which you see virtual enemies that actually attack and dodge you, so you can play by yourself. No, I didn't say WITH yourself.
