In plain words

ARDrone WebFlight is a browser-based application for piloting the AR.Drone 2.0 quadcopter. Users can control the drone directly through their web browser and extend functionality with plugins for features like video recording, autonomous flight, and face recognition. The platform provides two video streaming options: image-based streaming compatible with all browsers, or raw H264 streaming via websockets for modern browsers with sufficient CPU. It's designed for developers and hobbyists who want to quickly build and experiment with drone applications.
