## Talk Description

The web is fast becoming the main means through which people interact with all sorts of technologies. With every new invention, users ask, "But can it work with a browser?" With browser APIs, the answer is almost always yes; even to the question "Can you fly a drone with a banana?"



In this talk, Lucky will demonstrate the power of these APIs and discuss a few cool experimental ones. He will take the audience on a journey through his experience of trying to hack a drone and flying it with a banana.



If you're interested in all things web, custom controllers, Bluetooth technology and accelerometer-based controls or if you just like fruit and seeing silly applications of technology, this talk is for you.
