Kinect-steered AR.Drone

Nice hack! From the video description: "Parrot AR Drone controlled with body movements using the Kinect. Developed by Tom Zickel (with the support of the Zickel family). Demonstrated at Kinnernet 2011"

(via SUAS News)

Long time coming. The only problem is the Kinect is on the ground & the UAV is just a display. When is someone finally going to get Kinect + iPhone + Commodore 64 control out of the way?
