Endless Aerial Fun in the Palm of Your Hand

Lumi’s advanced flight controls are enabled through BeaconSense™ technology. Every Lumi comes with a separate beacon that acts as a core point of reference in space and is essentially a virtual leash for Lumi that tethers it to the beacon’s location. The beacon enables Lumi to understand where it is in space at all times, which works in tandem with programmed algorithms to always keep Lumi stable, so if you move the beacon – Lumi will follow.

Walls, fans, and lamps make great home accessories but terrible crash sites...Lumi keeps your home - and its inhabitants - safe from scratches and damage. 

We have special obstacle avoidance sensors in Lumi so that it avoids walls, as well as people’s hands and faces. This will prevent it from damaging or flying into walls and furniture in your home. 

Using your mobile device, you can perform basic and advanced aerial maneuvers with the touch of one button, here’s a few:

With one tap make Lumi spin, flip, shake, figure 8 and sway.

Use the beacon to ‘leash’ your drone to a close proximity and have it follow you wherever you go. Clip the handheld beacon to your mobile device to have Lumi follow you while using obstacle avoidance to avoid crashes.

LUMI TO THE BEAT is a game of rhythm and reflexes. Lumi’s luminescent surface will flash various colors (red, blue, yellow, green) while users try to press the corresponding light on their mobile device Lumi app as quickly as possible.

If you miss or tap the wrong color, Lumi will drop in altitude. Make too many mistakes and it’s game over!

The longer you keep pace with the beat while Lumi is airborne, the higher your score. As you progress, Lumi’s LEDs will flash faster and faster, making it more difficult to reach new levels where you’ll unlock new tricks and entirely new aerial maneuvers.

Two Lumi players go head-to-head in this intense game of rhythm and reflexes. Player One and Player Two connect to their individual Lumis with their smart device in hand. Then, each player sets their Lumi down with one beacon on the floor between them. A countdown begins and when the count hits X, both drones take off simultaneously and round 1 begins.

The drones flash identical patterns making it a battle of who can match the most colors in the timeframe. 

The Lumi app will present you with a blank timeline and by dragging and dropping icons for various maneuvers and tricks onto the line, you can create fun sequences (e.g. flip→ flip→ spin). By tapping on each specific move in the timeline, you can select a specific LED color choice for Lumi to emit during that move,  or for the entire duration choreographed sequence! Once you are happy with your sequence you can select a song from your music library and Lumi will perform the choreographed sequence  to the beat of the selected song. If no song is selected, the drone will simply perform the sequence, but either way you can always save your programmed choreography and share your sequence with other Lumi users!

The Intelligent Lumi Pods are larger beacons that can be placed throughout a house or indoor space to create a virtual course for Lumi to automatically follow. Place one pod in your living room, another in your kitchen, and another in your bedroom and watch as Lumi follows the course perfectly every time. Compatible with multiple Lumis that can all be controlled via a smart device, you can create an endless array of games and sequences with Intelligent Pods!

Telemetry is a two-way data stream that can send both commands and data about Lumi’s flight to a ground station terminal (a.k.a. your traditional computer). 

Our Telemetry system is used to observe what Lumi is measuring and how it's reacting with a focus on battery level, flight status, height, position, gesture, etc. (Please note: The Telemetry kit pictured here is for illustration purposes only. Actual kit may differ from this version.)

Here’s a sample of some of the measurements and variables you can keep track of with the telemetry kit:

·  Accelerometer

·  Gyro

·  Position data from beacon sense (height, distance)

·  Gesture information from gesture sense system

·  Battery levels

·  Attitude of the aircraft (stability measurement)

·  Control system signals (system which maintains stability)
