Cafe Drogen, run by drone maker Drogen in Songdo, Incheon, offers a place for people who fly drones as a hobby.
In the only town in the metropolitan area that is free from flying restrictions, internet communities and bloggers can test out drones when they buy coffee, have training sessions for beginners and rent drones.
In the separated transparent space, visitors can try out the unmanned aerial vehicles, without worrying about crashes or accidents.
The country’s first drone cafe sells and repairs drones as well. The company says it aims to foster “drone culture” and plans to create more such locations across the country by the end of the year.
It is also considering incorporating augmented reality technologies into its business model, in order to give people the sensation of flying their drones for real.
