2 July 2011, 11:57 am

      Another stunt from the quadcopters of ETH Zurich Flying machines arena. This time a Kinect sensor is implemented in order to translate body movements and gestures to direct control of the quad. This demo is the result of a ETH Zurich Bachelor Thesis by Armin Ambühl, supervised by Sergei Lupashin and Raffaello D'Andrea.

Nice...I'm going to see if WalMart has them!

Art, remember that when you go to Walmart you have to at least be wearing women's clothes and show an ample amount of your buttocks.

Ok, that's it!!! If I didn't need therapy before, I CERTAINLY do now!

I once read somewhere a "top ten list of ill-advised pranks to pull at Walmart", and #6 was to listen for the PA speaker, and when a voice rings out over it, drop to the floor in the fetal position and scream, "NO!!! The voices!!! THE VOICES!!! MAKE THEM STOP!!!"

Now I'll have to go do that! AGAIN!
Thanks, Freddy!

You mean wearing clothes that are at least two sizes too small like spandex? Somewhat akin to cramming 10 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound sack!!

A trip to Walmart is as good fun as a visit to a circus!
