It is a hand-gesture based bebop2 controller which has been built using leap motion. (https://www.leapmotion.com). It currently supports all the basic functionalities to manoeuvre the drone in a safe environment.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
