the diver augmented vision display or DAV d-david for short is a prototype augmented reality display that fits into a Kirby Morgan dive helmet the helmet display was created at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City division and offers situational awareness or sector sonar that enables topside divers to provide visual communications to divers below the surface according to the video's description which was published on the US Navy's YouTube channel in early June the da VB aids a diver in navigating to a target underwater that is mostly always difficult to see and also can assist in other tasks such as repairing a ship or locating sunken objects like a downed aircraft at the bottom of the ocean when we think of drones we usually picture a quadcopter that can fly up and down go left and right maybe sometimes bust out a flip trick well the omni copter is going to change all of that the omni copter is an aerial vehicle with six degrees of freedom that can generate forces and torques in all directions using an 8 rotor configuration it was designed and built by researchers at the Institute for dynamic systems and control in Zurich Switzerland the Omni copter is able to change the direction of the motors and rotor blades while in mid-air allowing each propeller to produce both positive and negative thrust the actuator configuration allows the omni copter to utilize four different planes of flight as opposed to a standard quadcopter rotor configuration this six degrees of freedom allows the omni copter to roll over while hovering move in a straight line without having to tilt itself in a desired direction and by combining the two moves makes flying novel maneuvers much easier and smoother you can read more about the Omni copter in rachelle stars crave article at grave dot see Netcom cuttlefish cuttlefish cool they're both simplified it's a cuttlefish nice sweater
