Dear customers,

AR.Freeflight 2.2 was removed from iTunes last month due to the need for patents’ clarification on accelerometer and absolute control.

We encourage iOS pilots to try a new piloting app, fast and easy: AR.Drone. Get it!

In the meantime, we have enriched AR.Race2 App (version 2.2) with a free piloting mode to continue enjoying flying the AR.Drone.

We’ll keep you updated.

Sincerely,

Parrot Team

AR.Race2

Project Shield is a full Android device with integrated console-grade controls, which include two analog sticks, buttons, shoulder triggers, and a D-pad. As a fully functional Android device, it was demoed today piloting the AR.Drone 2.0 with a soon-to-be-announced update version of AR.Freeflight.

The result is a fantastic flying experience, explains Patrick Beaulieu, an NVIDIAN who will be demonstrating the combo at GTC’s exhibit hall.

Project SHIELD’s console quality control sticks make the drone a pleasure to fly, Beaulieu says.

And by moving the controls for the device off the screen, viewers can see the unobstructed view from drone’s high-definition camera reproduced on Project SHIELD’s retina-quality 5-inch screen.
