• Resumen

  • Marks talks about HoverBall. Developed by Jun Rekimoto at the University of Tokyo and colleagues, the plastic ball has the ability to hover thanks to a 90-millimeter-wide drone embedded inside it. The team says its HoverBall could democratize some sports, allowing the ball to stop or slow down for older people or children, perhaps. At the moment, the ball is controlled remotely, but in the future could be programmed to follow a particular flight path.
