Somewhere, somehow, the Wright Brothers are smiling. Jarnos Smeets, a mechanical engineer from the Netherlands, was plugging away on his Human Birdwings project for a lot of, many months now, and his latest breakthroughs are absolutely worthy of a peek. Put simply, the bloke has married an HTC Wildfire S, a Wii remote and bookoodles of software genius with a purpose to create a suite of wings which are controlled by a human waving his arms as though to fly. As this stuff are likely to go, it is all better explained in video, two of that are hosted up after the break. There isn’t any capture just yet of Jarnos starting off himself, but at this rate, he’ll probably be giving Santa a run for his money around this time next year.
