Hand movement commands
To explore and learn about hand movements to control a drone, we used the Mavic Air. Although it is really simple to control it, there were some key points to remember: -> To recognize your hand, it has to "see" your thumb, so always make it visible for the drone -> Always place the drone on a plane lever surface -> Stand 2-3 meters from the aircraft -> Raise and extend your arms closely together. Move your arms apart to make it back up (maximum of 6m), and bring them back together to move it closer again (to a minimum of 2m).

"Follow me mode"
Most drones nowadays contain this mode where it follows any type of object or person without the need to have someone control the drone manually.

Pix4D scaning
Although we still didn't have the opportunity to use the PIX4D tool, Mr. Wong showed us a 4D sample he made of the school, and offered to scan something like a car for us. This new technology helps to explore places that are hard for the human being to reach, like airplanes and helicopters crashes and any type of accidents
