This week, researchers Chuhao Liu and Shaojie Shen from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology revealed an intriguing new solution that uses holographic augmented reality hardware to create live 3D terrain maps, enabling drone pilots to simply point at targets visualized above any flat surface.

The prototype drone, which weighs just 26g and is similar in size to a swift has been optimized to fly in cluttered environments near humans, with the ability to glide, hover at very low power and stop quickly from fast speeds, avoiding collisions – manoeuvres that quadcopter drones struggle to perform.
