 |  Ziphius is a smartphone-controlled aquatic drone Who doesn't want a little aquatic drone to call their own? Azorean's Ziphius is a partially submerged device that can be controlled via iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. There's an on-board HD camera that offers up visuals to give the user a first-person view both above and below the water. Azorean plans to open the API on the vehicle and software to let developers create all manner of games and apps that'll harness augmented reality. Inside of the drone, you'll find a Raspberry Pi, an Ardunio-based plate and two differential motors. The company's promising intuitive handling and even a bit of autonomy with the Ziphius. By why talk about it, when we can play you some videos of the little guy in action? You'll find those after the break. http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/25/insert-coin-ziphius/ |
