Legg merke til at maskinen havarerer fordi han med briller glemmer at han styrer den......

Google Glass developer Blaine Bublitz has actually come up with a way to control a Parrot AR Drone with his Google Glass wearable device. After some successful early tests controlling a connected ground-based robot with Glass-controlled head movements, Bublitz decided to up the stakes and try the same dynamic with a flying robot.The result is a Glass-controlled UAS that allows for pitch and roll controls that are still shaky at this point, but nonetheless impressive.
For the coders out there, Bublitz offers a detailed run-down of how he cobbled together the head movement remote control mechanism here. For the rest of us, the demonstration looks like nothing less than machine-assisted telekinesis in action. It doesn’t take much to look at this and then imagine a mother pushing a baby carriage hands-free with Glass, or a truck operator using the wearable device to control a second vehicle.
The demonstration, which took place two weeks ago, was part of the International NodeBots Day.
