Kanada Kev Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Man, would it cool to have one of these or what? Great for festivals and flying over the crowd Check out the link to watch a video:http://www.therawfeed.com/2006/09/vr-gear-makes-rc-airplane-coolest-toy.htmlA Canadian RC airplane enthusiast shows us some sweet unanticipated convergence between a model RC airplane and virtual reality gear. It works like this. The airplane is a conventional one, controlled by a wireless remote control. On the airplane is a pan-and-tilt camera, controlled also wirelessly. Here's the cool part. The video is viewable through virtual reality goggles, which have a gyroscope built in to sense the movement of the goggles. When the wearer moves his head, the camera moves. Tragically, this is not a product, but a DIY project. (props to Gizmodo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
