Associate the Moverio BT-200 ($699) Smart Glasses to your automaton, discard the standard viewfinder, and with the dorky shades over your eyes, turn upward and see what the automaton sees.
As the quadcopter takes off into the skies, you're up there with your gadget, with a more extreme ordeal than looking down at your cell phone watcher.
In any case, there's one little issue.
As I'm peering through the glasses and getting a charge out of the view—where's that automaton in any case? Should have it in my observable pathway, per the Federal Aviation Authority. On the off chance that my automaton is flying over the sea and goes ahead, I could lose the unit, and that is a fairly unnerving feeling.
To be reasonable, the Moverio, from printer maker Epson, doesn't absolutely inundate your vision like virtual reality headsets. The automaton see fills about a large portion of the screen, and that view itself isn't as splendid and beautiful as I might want.
Yet, in the wake of going through the day with the Moverio as of late on five distinct flights, my response was indistinguishable each time: "where'd that automation go?"
There are some simple arrangements. You could get your companion to fly for you while you kick back and watch the activity through the glasses. Or, then again be so OK with your flying abilities that none of this matters to you.
The Moverio is portrayed by Epson as shrewd glasses that set the "standard in Augmented Reality," savvy eyewear specs that for the time being work with a few models of automatons from maker DJI. I tried it with the DJI Mavic Pro.
The glasses themselves interface with the controller of the automaton, the videogame-like unit that gives you a chance to control lift off, landing, and whether to send the unit to one side or left. The operation movements to a Moverio trackpad, along these lines discarding the requirement for the cell phone, which had gone about as your viewfinder. I observed the trackpad itself to be cumbersome, and difficult to control. I favored the cell phone operation.
Be that as it may, I give Epson props for attempting.
On its site, it features distinctive utilizations it imagines for the Moverio, such as getting the AR glasswear to historical centers, instruction, games and stimulation. What's more, why not? Not at all like VR goggles, these glasses are decent and light. It's not hard to envision viewing a film or amusement and wearing these completely through. You wouldn't do that with VR headsets.
This is Epson's Google Glass minute, with an adaptation 1.0 minute that is very much expected, however only somewhat early. (Google Glass, which appeared to be comparative and offered the capacity to shoot video and photographs of your general surroundings, kicked the bucket a fast demise in 2015.)
For the Moverio, I'd spare your cash and sit tight for another release that is less demanding to work and has better optics. Also, invest the energy improving as a flyer, so you won't need to stress over losing that troublesome automaton while burrowing the view.
