Now you can control a drone using Apple Watch.

Yes, it’s true. The ability to seemingly control things using your hands is no longer a fantasy, now you can control things just by moving your hands and thanks to IOT for that. IOT (Internet Of things) is all set to rule the future. The era of apps based only on Internets is slowing down and the IOT thing is all set to take their place. And this creation by Taiwanese Technology Researchers at PVD+ is one of the most beautiful example of this.

PVD+. is founded by Mark Ven, a Civil Engineer and Ph.D student at the National Chung Hsing University in the year 2013, and they have a great team. At PVD+ they have written an algorithm for the Apple Watch and made and application out of it, which can remotely control a drone and manipulate some special light bulbs just by command of hand gestures. They say that now they can customize and install the algorithm to any device with favorable hardware. Which means the control unit will not only remain with Apple Watch but will increase to more devices and also the control objects.

Have a look at the video demonstrating the whole thing.
