Various techniques are described to facilitate the control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided that allows a user to control a UAV using familiar gestures. The GUI may include live video that is captured and transmitted by a UAV, which may be displayed in a display window on a portable computing device. Upon a user interacting with the display window, the video may be updated to display a new UAV perspective by changing a zoom level, panning, rotating, etc., based upon the type of user interaction. In response to the user interaction, a command may be generated and transmitted to the UAV, causing the UAV to navigate to a location to reflect the change in perspective. Upon the UAV moving to the new position, the live video data that is displayed may match the perspective indicated by the user gesture.
