 What is the AR.Drone? The AR.Drone is a groundbreaking device combining thebest of many worlds, including modelling, video gaming and augmented reality. The AR.Drone is remote-controlled by an iPhone. The device features a number of sensors, including a front camera, avertical camera and an ultrasound altimeter. The AR.Drone can also be used in video games, such as AR.FlyingAce, a dogfight between two AR.Drones. This game incorporates augmented reality, especially formodelling missile fire. What type of connection is established between the AR.Drone and the iPhone? The AR.Drone is connected to the iPhone by an ad hoc Wi-Fi link. Do I need a Wi-Fi router to operatemy AR.Drone? No, the AR.Drone creates its own Wi-Fi network. The iPhone can then connect to it just like with any Wi-Fi network. Do both cameras come with the device? Yes, both cameras are includedwith the AR.Drone. I don’t have an iPhone, an iPod touch or an iPad, but can I still fly the AR.Drone? The AR.Drone can potentially be controlled by any device with ad hoc Wi-Fi capability. To date, youcan control your AR.Drone with an iPhone®, iPod touch® or iPad™. We are uploading the AR.Drone's communication source code to our development platform, so that other mobile phone manufacturers candevelop their own remote control applications over the next few months.  What is the difference between these two AR.Drones?

The controlsettings can be tweaked on the iPhone application to ensure that the AR.Drone's behaviour suits the environment in which it is being used. There are three outdoor hull models (blue, yellow and green) and...
