Abstract
Wearable devices promise a full immersion in the usage environment and most of these devices are mainly passive information receivers. We believe that integration of proactive wearable devices in general can bring more advantages for more natural user interactions. This paper explores proactive control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based on a smart phone and a smart wristband. We have conducted indoor and outdoor trial flights and gained encouraging results as well as valuable ideas for future research.
