Goggle-Controlled Drones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The FLYBi Drone is Controlled by Wearable Glasses and Real-Time Video

— September 29, 2015 — Tech
The FLYBi drone is a unique drone flying robot that is controlled through a wearable set of glasses. The augmented system actually allows each user to control and direct their drone using physical head gestures.

The glasses are connected to the FLYBi drone through real-time cameras that show the user exactly what the drone is seeing. By providing a bird's eye view of any area, the system allows users to gain a full experiential understanding of how the world looks from above. Additionally, the person wearing the glasses is able to decide where the drone should go next with the help of real-time reception videos.

This exciting addition in the advancement of drones can be used for many tasks that extend beyond personal pleasure. For example, this drone can actually be used for surveillance and direction assistance.
Trend Themes
1. Wearable-controlled Drones - There is an opportunity to create a new market for drones that can be controlled through wearable technology devices like smartwatches or fitness trackers.
2. Real-time Video Streaming Drones - There is a potential for drone manufacturers to develop drones with real-time video streaming capabilities, enabling users to experience an immersive aerial view of the world.
3. Gesture-controlled Drones - Creating drones that can be controlled through physical head gestures presents an opportunity to cater to the needs of users who are not comfortable with using traditional remote controllers.
Industry Implications
1. Surveillance - Surveillance companies can leverage wearable-controlled drones to efficiently perform surveillance tasks that require live video streaming capabilities and a bird's eye view of the area of interest.
2. Film and Photography - In the film and photography industry, wearable-controlled drones with real-time video streaming capabilities can offer a unique perspective, allowing filmmakers to capture stunning aerial shots.
3. Construction - Gesture-controlled drones can be used in construction sites for surveying land, monitoring progress, and ensuring safety protocols are being followed.
