Parrot's headset gives you a drones-eye-view of the sky

2016-12-08
okay in three two one we have liftoff ever wonder what it feels like to fly onboard a drone this may come pretty close Peretz new first-person view headset in sky controller 2 for their disco and bebop to give you a live drones eye view of the sky the updated controller connects two parrots free flight app on any Android or iOS device via USB and the new headset mode in the app turns the phone into a br viewer which can then be placed inside the goggles it's easy to get dizzy with this perspective right now yeah I think I see myself there I am ah that was busy now the view is clearer than trying to look at the gallery' screen of a phone or controller but the picture quality is grainy and I never really felt like I was flying neither drone has a 360-degree camera so don't expect the fully immersive experience of a traditional VR headset instead you're locked into the 90 degree cockpit view of whatever the drone is seen during its flight FAA regulations require drone pilots to be able to keep the drone in line of sight which rules out using the headset to steer so at least in the US this tool is intended as more of a shared live experience with a spectator or copilot so I just landed on the grass I can see some blades and I'm back on earth it's a little bit jarring to go from this to the real world but I'm not as dizzy the second time around the headset and sky controller are sold as part of the disco bundle for around 1000 US dollars or in bundle with the bebop 2 for 500 or if you already have a bebop 2 they can also be purchased individually through parrots website for 350 and for more specs on both these drones check out our full review at sea Netcom you
