Apple Watch is, despite the opinion of many, a SmartWatch very versatile that has enormous potential, and by watching the video clip below you will understand why the product from Cupertino is not just a simple watch that runs applications.
A group of Taiwanese researchers thought that the Apple Watch could be used for something other than displaying notifications, so they created an algorithm that would allow it to control a drone Parrot AR Drone 3.0 right from a user's wrist.
The group of Taiwanese researchers consists of 5 people, and the software created by them for Apple Watch is called Dong, 18 months of research being necessary to develop it together with the application that must be installed in the Apple product.
As you can see in the clip, controlling the Parrot drone is done using hand gestures and movements, the whole procedure being very simple, and apart from a drone, the watch can also control a robotic ball such as BB-8™ by Sphero.
Previously we needed complicated controls to fly drones, but now we can use a wearable device, and through human behavior and gestures directly interact with them – using a hand to control and fly drones directly. We can also control a ball, like that in Star Wars' BB-8 droid, using a wearable device as well.

Apart from drones, the Apple Watch can also be used to control an interior lighting system, a simple clap of hands turning on the lights in the house, while writing the letter R in the air with the smartwatch in hand turns the red lights on or off.
When I clap twice the light turns on, as it detects that I'm clapping. When I write an English 'R' in the air the red light turns on, and when I write an English 'Y' the yellow light turns on. Finally, when I clap twice the light turns off. uring this process we are communicating and interacting on the Human Computer Interface by using the internet of things, and the wearable device.
In the same idea, writing other letters in the air can generate lights of various colors, while clapping just turns the whole system on or off, everything being quite rudimentary for now, but we are still talking about something offered for the first time.
What do you think about the Taiwanese system?
