I use an old android phone + google cardboard headset when I do drone surveys or inspection. It has become indispensable, as the drone camera gimbal is slaved to my head. Much easier to inspect hard to reach stuff in (or on) the manufacturing facility I work at this way.
I'm always sort of impressed that I am able to have this functionality using (literally) the trash of others.
Once the resolution gets high enough that I can read small text comfortably, I plan on removing monitors from my office all together and migrating to some sort of AR terminal multiplexer. The general idea being that I can throw the headset on and wrap myself in some sort of window manager. I use a whole pile of monitors during daily work and despite needing them all during certain development projects, 50% of the time, I've got 2-3 displays sitting idle which is annoying. Having a 3 dimensional bubble of monitor space would fix this nicely for me.
I know this is what work spaces are for, but I've never been very proficient switching between them. I prefer to have all my current projects visible if I look around me.
- Ruthalas 6y agoCan you provide information on how you set that up? (the slaved gimbal) I'd love to recreate that!
- korse 6y agoBase station with DJI support called Litchi. Runs on Android. Has a nice VR mode that auto integrates head tracking. Turn on, switch to VR mode, slide into your pick of cardboard style devices and off you go. It isn't fast enough response for racing, but is great for inspection/maneuvering a drone around inside and out of a crowded facility (slowly) without line of sight. I use an old samsung galaxy for the ground station/dispaly. Works excellently for the purpose and cost me nothing. For work I use a DJI mavic pro with updated firmware to remove some pesky restrictions and the DJI phone home functions. If you really want a roll your own solution, check out Ardupilot with a Navio II flight controller. This will let you construct a full flying telepresence solution to your personal specifications. Embedded Linux and ROS built in too!
