Google glass hacked to control a drone with a simple javascript code

A security researcher has reportedly used a JavaScript code in order to turn Google's wearable computing eyegear Google Glass into a drone controller.

Blaine Bublitz experimented with a JavaScript program called node.js. to create a program to tweak for different controllers and
vehicles.

In July, Bublitz attended International Nodebots Day, a hacking event in various cities throughout the United States where attendants use a JavaScript program called node.js. Bublitz wanted to experiment with different input devices to control robots, all while using JavaScript to create a program he could tweak for different controllers and vehicles.

Bublitz started with a control program that would interpret his waving in front of a LeapMotion tracker, and he used a wheeled robot to test his code. He successfully made it move back and forth.

Bublitz notes on his blog: "I couldn't see where the bot was while controlling it. I needed something that could be about eye height, so I could see its movement while controlling it." He used an AR drone as his bot of choice, and he also added up-and-down movements for optimal steering.

He said that he would like to add the ability to rotate the drone left and right based on Google Glass' azimuth value but that will take time to realize.

Users who want to experiment with the program can also download it from Bublitz's GitHub profile, the report added.
