CES 2018: TIE Develops World’s First One-Hand Drone Controller System

A leading Korean hardware startup known as TIE(this is engineering Inc.) is introducing the SHIFT Family Drone, which is optimised for low-budget and casual drone players along with its one-hand drone controller line-ups.

SHIFT is the world’s first one-hand drone controlling system that is built with near-field micro sensing technology, uniquely developed by TIE. With it, users can perform three axis and spin movements by only using the thumb and index finger.

DS Lee, Director of Robotics Division at TIE says: “SHIFT introduces the new drone control system that improves the existing two-hand controls. Since the SHIFT Family Drone retail price is competitive enough and can also be intuitively controlled by kids, the SHIFT Family Drone will stand as the most affordable and proper drone in the market.”

SHIFT Family Drone is implemented with Macro flying (semi-autonomous), Flight remembrance, Software Gimbal, Vision recognition technologies for fun and affordable drone usages, and SHIFT Controller is for professional and commercial drone usages.
