Since started shipping
the first sets of Oculus Rift, in a number of creative models of virtual
reality glasses together with other devices to form a completely new devices.
Although most have done
a good job of immersing users into the virtual environment, the latest project
from Intuitive Aerial can provide unique insights into the real world.
The
project, called Oculus Rift FPV allows the pilot to control the UAV without
removing the virtual reality glasses, so gives an overview of a 360-degree
bird's eye view, it does not leave the ground.
Intuitive Aerial
Swedish company specializing in the installation of on-board camera equipped
with one of the aircraft Black Armor Drone makeshift wooden unit, a laptop and
two cameras positioned side-by-side. Video filmed webcams laptop compressed in
real time and sent to another computer on the ground via Wi-Fi 802.11n (2.4
GHz), which is connected to Oculus Rift, allowing the owner to substantially
all visible from the standpoint of air unit. Live video comes with a delay of
120 ms.
At this point, it's
pretty simple system, but the designers are planning to simplify the design,
adding a host of new features. Currently, the communication range between two
computers is 50 - 100 m (164 - 328 feet), but the equipment is of a higher
class can extend it more than ten times, according to developers. In the
future, the team also hopes to remove the laptop from the board and replace it
with a smaller electronics with individual programs, which would reduce the
delay.
The main goal is to
expand the field of view of webcams by replacing the current model with two or
more high-quality cameras, each of which is equipped with a fisheye lens. Later
versions of Rift Oculus FPV will be updated to accommodate the mounting of
cameras, so that the pilot will be able to look around and repeat the movement
of the camera.
