Note that this research was conducted on people with no prior experience of flying drones. An intuitive interface is not necessarily the best interface for skilled users. Do we really want to reduce the (already very low) barrier to entry to flying a drone?
- iamdave 8y agoNot necessarily against lowering the barrier to flying quadcopters for recreational use (commercial use different story-and I say that as someone who took and passed the FAA Part 107 test). I'm chiefly curious how/if this system allows operators to adjust or control things like trim-for example and what that mechanism looks like using one's torso as an input source. Furthermore with a joystick, the resistance of the sticks counts as it's own input mechanism; less about fine-tuned control for its own sake but more about that fine tuned control as an input mechanism of its own. I think that speaks to your statement here: An intuitive interface is not necessarily the best interface for skilled users. Absolutely. That being said, being able to control yaw by turning one's head-similar to how the AAIH works for AH-64 pilots is something I would welcome-or at least play around with. The rest--possibly, but with reservation.
