Lancement du Parrot AR.Drone

by on January 7, 2010 at 12:10 am

Mardi 5 janvier à Las Vegas, la société française Parrot annonçait un jouet étonnant résultat de plusieurs années d’ingeniering et parfaitement dans l’air du temps : l’AR Drone.

Au moment où j’écris ces lignes, la presse mondiale en ligne a du déjà décrire le biniou. J’avais eu le privilège de profiter d’une démonstration de l’hélicoptère début décembre 2009 pendant la visite de Parrot à Paris avec les Travelling Geeks. Mais nous étions sous embargo jusqu’à hier.
