I'm actually working with a friend of mine who is a computer nerd and we're trying to establish a way to program the copter not only to follow GPS coordinates, but instead a moving signal. We're attempting to find a way to have the copter lock on to a signal, say an IR emitter that somebody is carrying, and the copter would stay a certain distance from that source. In other words you could launch the copter with a programmed distance and as long as you have the emitter it would fly itself at that distance which would also affect the height. Imagine launching the copter by yourself and having it fly around catching all the video feed, it'd take videos to a whole new level! When you are done filming you send a signal and the copter would head toward the signal source to land. We're still in the early stage but it's in the works
