One of\u00a0most unique selling points of the Fleye is its unique spherical design which makes it substantially safer then most current drones. All moving parts are fully shielded so you can hold, touch, push or bump the Fleye without any risk of injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Flyeye is controllable by a smartphone app which allows you to choose between automated control (you can select between selfie, panorama, virtual tripod and more) and manual control using either the virtual gamepad or a physical controller.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-shop\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/gofleye\/fleye-your-personal-flying-robot\">Find out more<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Kurv Guitar<\/h2>\n<p><strong>In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong>\u00a0a stringless digital guitar played using\u00a0touch, motion and gestures.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"547\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/kurv\/kurv-guitar\/widget\/video.html\" width=\"730\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Playing Air Guitar is a popular past time for rock fans, equal only to playing actual guitar.
