  text: "As technology advances, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ( UAVs) have emerged as
    an innovative solution to a variety of problems in many fields. Automated control
    of UAVs is most common in large area operations, but they may also increase the
    versatility of smart home compositions by acting as a physical helper. For example,
    a voice- controlled UAV could act as an intelligent aerial assistant that can
    be seamlessly integrated into smart home systems. In this paper, we present a
    novel Augmented Reality (AR )-based UAV control that provides high-level control
    over a UAV by automating common UAV missions. In our work, we enable users to
    operate a small UAV hands-free using only a small set of voice commands. To help
    users identify the targets, and to understand the UAV ’s intentions, targets within
    the user’s field of vision are highlighted in an AR interface. We evaluate our
    approach in a user study (n=26) regarding usability, physical and mental demand,
    as well as a focus on the users’ preferences. Our study showed that the use of
    the proposed control was not only accepted, but some users stated that they would
    use such a system at home to help with some tasks at home\r\n"
