This system lets you fly a drone with arm gestures

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have developed a Jedi-like mind control system that allows you to control a drone by just twisting and lifting your forearm. A video uploaded by the CSAIL team shows off the system. The drone pilot is able to maneuver a small drone through a series of rings easily just by twisting, raising, and lowering his forearm thanks to a device strapped around his arm. The goal is to make controlling the drone -- and potentially other pieces of technology -- as natural as possible by harnessing human intuition. A paper published last month details the such a "plug-and-play gesture control" that relies on muscle and motion sensors.
