The part where you talked about using FPV goggles to control a drone was particularly interesting, and admittedly, hit me right in the feels.
What's the current state of that technology? Last I knew/read, the latency between what the operator sees and what's actually happening was still high enough to make it disorienting. Is there anything you've seen / are working on that mitigates that? Is it even as much of an issue when your range of motion is constrained to your head?
- escapologybb 12y agomy friend Henry Evans at Robots for Humanity[0] has done some testing with the Oculus Rift, he has much more limited range of motion than me and he was able to fly a Parrot drone fairly successfully. But I think when she start moving higher speeds than I think the latency is still a problem, although I've not had chance to test it. At the moment I'm still trying to find people in the UK who can help me set up a similar sort of system, as at the moment I've been using the Parrot AR Drone coupled with NodeCopter[1] and the excellent ardrone-webflight plugin. FPV is my 100%, oh my god I'm flying from a wheelchair, ultimate dream setup, and I think I'm right at the beginning of that journey.
