From operating drones in the field I noticed that it is needed to keep an eye on the vehicle, but also on the ground control station. I ideally keep my hands on the joystick in case I need to take over control from the computer.
Everything is automated, but supervision is needed and I need to be on the ready in the event of an emergency.
I was thinking about those VR raybans that would provide an overlay HUD. Combined with voice commands that could be quite something.
Essentially you are working on improving the UI side of drones, exploring different ways to interact with the drone. You have probably seen QGroundControl, Mission Planner and some of the proprietary apps. Essentially all these features could in theory be voice controlled.
I have personally never used voice assistance so I cannot comment what that would be like to use. The only thing I noticed in field work is that you need 8 hands and 8 eyes essentially, so voice UI could help there.
