Drone technology continues its rapid evolution. The newest creation from DJI seems to offer its operator superpowers, in fact.

Showing off its newest innovation, the brand’s Spark Mini Drone is controlled by the owner utilizing nothing but his or her hands. The advanced gesture controls may look a bit awkward at first, but the technology is designed to feel more organic than a traditional controller.

In addition to the Jedi-like controls, Spark also features a gimbal-mounted camera that’s able to capture 12-megapixel stills and shoot 1080p video. Capable of running for up to 16 minutes on each charge, the mini drone also boasts automatic obstacle avoidance and a top speed of 31 mph.

Users can easily recharge Spark with a Micro USB, and they have access to a companion smartphone app for commands up to 109 yards away. Priced at $500, the DJI Spark Mini Drone is available in red, blue, green, yellow, and white.
