![]() I own an Oculus Rift VR Headset that I purchased for a number of different reasons. The first thing I thought about when I heard about the rift was using it for FPV, but thoughts of it quickly went away when I realized how much latency there would be. So when I read this article about doing just this I thought it was really interesting and needed to be passed on. A big part of the fun of FPV is flying like you are in the airplane - transporting yourself to another place. FPV happens to be real while the normal use of the rift transports you to a virtual place. Either way, I can draw up many similarities between FPV and virtual reality. For example, look how my toddler reacts when he plays with the rift - It fools him completely! He has a similar reaction when he puts on the FPV goggles. So what does the book, "Ready Player One" have to do with drones and fpv? Ok it is a stretch, but this has got to be the best science fiction book - It is all about virtual reality and with the release of the Oculus Rift, it sure seems closer than ever. I have been pounding the table about how revolutionary the oculus rift is and you should try one as soon as possible. I would not recommend this book if I was not 95% certain it would appeal to the people that enjoy my blog!! Just read it.

![]() I was all excited about the CC3d board and QAV500.. until this morning and the glitch I thought was caused by flying too aggressively with the naza showed up with the CC3D, meaning the naza was not the issue. The QAV500 pitches left and forward, so i am pretty sure I have isolated the issue to the front left ESC. However, this picture shows that this drone might need to be put down. I have crashed this 3 different times, and it has always seemed to be the same random pitch left, like it loses power in the front left motor. Wish I was smarter and identified this before a total loss crash! ![]() I am so lucky it did not get stuck high in the trees.. or across the highway! Of course it did land on concrete to insure a high degree of damage! ![]() Drone crashes are exciting stuff on Sunday morning. Get your boots and pants on and lets go adventuring. Mommy was the one that found it first. ![]() Dont crash if you cant climb.. ![]() Hows dad going to get back up? I don't think he can.. ![]() Spider dad. |
