Hi Curt, you are right in all of your points. I was just wondering if you simply looked at their software SDK (for a GCS). AFAIK their GCS is iPhone only, but some people have compiled it for Android. So maybe those guys could give you a hand for your GCS system. http://www.shellware.com/BlogEngine.Web/page/ARPro-for-Android.aspx is one example of an Android GCS for the Parrot.AR Good Luck, Claus -- Claus Christmann, M.S.
