They use an Apple Watch to manipulate a drone with gestures [Video]

Do you want to control a drone using force just by waving your hand? Well now you can, but there is a small nuance in all this, and that is that you must have a Apple Watch

Taiwanese researchers PVD +, have developed an algorithm that allows the Apple Watch to act as a remote control for drones and even control the lightss using hand gestures. The algorithm called 'Dong coding' was developed after 18 months of research, the work has been hard and then after reading on, we leave you the proof in video.

With 'Dong coding' on your Apple Watch, you will be able to control drones using hand gestures. The Apple Watch basically interprets your hand gestures and then sends the corresponding signals to the drones. The algorithm is not just limited to that of the Apple Watch as it can be installed on other devices as well. Beside drones, the algorithm can also be used to control balls like the BB-8 droid to be wars, sphere 2.0 and lights using their wearables. As shown in the video with the gestures you can turn the lights on or off, the algorithm can also be used to change their color.

Since the technology is still in the early stages of development, it is easily affected by environmental factors such as wind. However, over time these issues must be remedied, with an increase in battery duration , which is currently in about 20 minutes.
