WowWee has for the past few decades engaged in the manufacture of robotics, with their biomorphic RoboSapien and interactive balancing robot RiP being their major success.

And now the manufacturer has launched a campaign for its
LUMI gaming drone.

This gaming drone comes with autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance, plenty of dance moves and several game modes.

It simply provides for a perfect drone that can help you test your ability to follow through dance sequences.

You can also create your own unique choreographies and utilize the multi-drone mode for epic dance-offs in the air.

The WowWee team is planning to open up the Lumi Platform to creative app developers to help introduce younger generations to the drone technology.

Cost of WowWee Lumi Gaming Drone Toy

The WowWee Lumi drone is available in the open market but it is currently undergoing crowd funding on IndieGoGo.

Early backers could make a pre-order on the platform starting at $59, a price that included a Lumi Drone, beacon, the batteries and a charging cable.

Backers who volunteer to shell out more money will be guaranteed larger beacons, Bluetooth pods and more batteries just to make the purchase worth it.

We cannot confirm if that is still available as practice.

Now though, it is at a really reasonable price on Amazon which includes everything.

Pros

Based on its design, the WowWee LUMI gaming drone toy is a highly advanced and self-stabilizing quadcopter that comes with simple capabilities.

With this gaming throne, you can take off, land, navigate and perform other exciting aerial maneuvers with just a simple tap.

Major advantages of the drone include:

***The Lumi Beat: WowWee Lumi experience allows you to select any song that you like from your phone or tablet and further challenge you to move to the beat.

***Choreography Mode: This mode helps you create your own unique sequence of aerial moves, control timing as well as light colors for your music. You can also play back the music whenever you feel like.

***Advanced Obstacle Avoidance Capabilities: Lumi comes with several sensors that ensure the drone actively avoids walls, cupboards and plenty of other indoor objects.

Also the hand-gesture control helps you play games with Lumi by simply placing your hand in front of the drone and then move it to the direction you want it to.

***The Follow-Me Feature: With this feature, you simply pick up the beacon and the WowWee Lumi will follow you.

Cons

***With Lumi beat-a game or rhythm and reflexes- you’re required to press corresponding lumi surface light on the mobile device.

If you miss or tap the wrong color, Lumi drops in altitude and if you make many mistakes, the game will be over.

***The quadcopter cannot handle harsh outdoor conditions hence it’s only meant for indoor flights only

Is it worth the money?
