The Aura quadcopter ditches a traditional stick controller or smartphone for a glove that lets you fly with a wave of your hand.

Toy drones continue to get smarter and more stable. Their controllers, on the other hand, remain a mess of sticks, buttons and switches that take a lot of practice to master.
The Aura drone from KD Interactive, on display this weekend at the New York Toy Fair 2017 , fixes this by getting rid of the traditional controller altogether.
