WowWee is bringing pro-level drone moves down to earth.
The new $79 Lumi, which is now on Indiegogo, can dance, learn choreography and, like drones that cost hundreds more, avoid obstacles on its own.
Designed primarily for indoor use, Lumi is a relatively small drone, but features a surprising number of sensors. There are at least four in the base so it can see the world around it and the floor below.

At the heart of the quadcopter is its ability to play games with users and with other Lumi drones. The product will also ship with a beacon that you can place on the floor and have Lumi stabilize directly over it. You can also pick up the beacon and Lumi will follow wherever it goes.
One game, Lumi to the Beat, taps into any song you have on your smartphone and challenges the user to fly Lumi in sync with the beat.
There will also be a free app so pilots can remotely fly the Lumi Drone. Through it, users will be able to perform one-tap drone stunts like a flip.
What the drone doesn't have is any kind of camera. So even though it can kind of "see," it can't take a picture or video of you.
Even with obstacle detection, some might be concerned about flying Lumi indoors and around people. The flyer does come with a thin plastic guard that should keep fingers away from the spinning, plastic rotor blades.
WowWee is also providing an open API for the Lumi to so enterprising pilots can program their own drone games.
