Virtual glasses + aircraft-with Oculus Rift with unmanned aircraft, let yourself fly!

If you are fascinated by flying in the sky but have no courage to try skydiving and other High-altitude projects, the following technology should be introduced to help you round the "Flying Dream." A few days ago, the Oculus Rift and DJI Phantom 2 remote control aircraft combined technology research and development success ...

The device provides overhead video and real-time images from the DJI Phantom 2 built-in 14 million-megapixel camera, allowing the wearer to feel the same real experience as he is flying in the sky.

The shooting function of unmanned aerial vehicle is completely unfamiliar to us. It is widely used in the documentary Aspects of aerial photography or sports events. And this has 14 million pixel camera, can plug SD card, can record 1080/30p or 1080/60i video, with 140 degrees wide angle, aperture f/2.8 remote control aircraft is a tyrants-level player aerial beat equipment.

Head-wearing monitor Oculus Rift was originally a virtual reality device designed for the game, which can greatly enhance the immersion of the game. Students from the Norwegian University of Science and technology combine these two seemingly unrelated devices to develop a new high-altitude analog experience device that allows users to feel like they are flying.

In essence, DJI Phantom 2 provides a real-time view of the video, and through the display technology to make Oculus Rift a stereoscopic visual sense. More importantly, DJI Phantom 2 's filming was controlled by Oculus Rift, and the angle of the DJI 2 was also able to change as the head was rotated. As a result, the wearer's perceived visual effects are more real.

However, it is necessary to note that Oculus Rift can only control the camera angle of the DJI Phantom 2, rather than the DJI 2 vehicle itself. While using this equipment, the wearer still has to control the flight of the DJI Phantom 2 aircraft through the remote control. However, because Oculus Rift's wearing completely masks the wearer's visual range, it also requires some skill to manipulate the aircraft.

It is worth mentioning that the research and development team of the equipment is also a willing to share the collective, they also provide the device source code for the user who likes to create their own hands.
