No infringement intended, was a great video but seemed lost to the net, and I had it on the hard drive..

dumbass...]]>Sep 27th 2006 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/
"cool goggles. horrid music."

WTF is that. Why didn't they mount the camera to the bottom of the plane so that you can get a good view of something else than the cockpit?]]>Sep 27th 2006 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/
Phone Nerd: Mounting the pan/tilt camera on the bottom would unfortunately crush the mechanism when the plane belly-lands. Personally, I think that mounting the camera in the cockpit gives you a better sense of the orientation of the plane because you're not just flying an R/C plane, this allows you to become an actual pilot IN the cockpit and the occlusion of the airframe gives you a real sense of what real pilots experience. Also, you could put functioning instrumentation in the cockpit such as airspeed, battery power, heading, etc. and just look down at them just like a real pilot. I'm not sure how difficult/expensive it would be to incorporate such information into the video data stream like the military UAVs.]]>Sep 27th 2006 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/
Don't get me wrong though, it's friggin' awesome!]]>Sep 27th 2006 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/Very phenominal!

I had a cam static mounted in an RC Heli that was pretty fun. The pan/tilt feature reminds me of flying a flight sim with Natural Point's TrackIR head tracking.]]>Sep 27th 2006 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/Sep 27th 2006 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/27/diy-project-merges-vr-goggles-with-rc-airplane/Jan 1st 2007 6:39AM
