We propose PinpointFly, an egocentric drone interface that allows users to arbitrarily
position and rotate a flying drone using position control interactions on a see-through mobile
AR where the position and direction of the drone are visually enhanced with a virtual cast
shadow. Unlike traditional speed control methods, users hold a smartphone and precisely
edit the drone's motions and directions by dragging the cast shadow or a slider bar on the
touchscreen.
