Augmented Reality has been merging the boundaries between the virtual world and physical world. Parrot, innovators in wireless peripherals for mobile phones, showcased their augmented reality gaming experience for use with the iPhone and iPod touch called ‘Parrot AR.Drone’, a quadricopter which generates its own Wi-Fi network that connects to an iPhone or iPod touch and turns it into a piloting station.

The Parrot AR.Drone, which received a 2010 CES Innovations award for Electronic Gaming Hardware is scheduled to be available to consumers sometime in 2010 and is open to video games developers. Parrot AR.Drone can be piloted by a iPhone or iPod touch Henri Seydoux who is the founder and CEO of Parrot said that they have been developing wireless concepts for video games for over four years and their first project was a Bluetooth race car, which was not very satisfactory according to their standards. Henri said that he wanted the video game to contain a part of a dream that he missed with the Bluetooth car. He explained it was the dream of ‘flying’. So he began working on the idea of the AR Drone. With video cameras and a powerful computer, Parrot has developed a very stable drone that is easy to control and flies like a dragonfly. Meant for both adults and kids, it allows them to fly in a real-world environment while simultaneously playing a video game from the device's screen. Parrot AR Drone is a quadricopter that consists of a central cockpit surrounded by four propellers, each driven by an engine. It offers amazing possibilities for piloting, excellent maneuverability and extraordinary stability.
