Gesture-controlled Drones – Video of Summer Student Project Work

Over the summer, Cathlyn Aston and Matt Hart worked with the CDIT group to explore how we could use the Leap Motion and a pre-release next generation Kinect to control the AR.Drones that we have within the group. This was a fantastic project – with a great result that you can see below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9VKcUL0CYs
