An electronic paper airplane, the PowerUp is a lightweight flying machine toting a live streaming camera -- FPV stands for "first person view", for the VR headset you can use with it. None of that's really new, but the cool part of the PowerUp is that's not only constructed from heavy-duty paper, you can fold your own designs as well. And when used with a VR headset like Google Cardboard, you can steer the plane by moving your head. It's in the final stages of an already 400%-funded Kickstarter campaign where it's selling for $179 (around AU$255 or £120), though there are plans to bring it to retail soon for $199, or $149 without the headset (AU$280/AU$210; £135/£100).
