It&amp;#x27;s for a course at my university called &amp;quot;experts in teams&amp;quot; where they combine master students from many programs in teams and give them tasks. A video with more shoots is available[1].&lt;p&gt;We got UAVs for the Norwegian oil industry as a task, and explored how they can be flown better in the future. Other teams with the same task made other cool stuff as well, for instance a custom drone for geological mapping.

There have been a few barebones setups, but this is the first fully-fledged implementation I&amp;#x27;ve seen.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s a fun usage for VR goggles and a great build project, but it&amp;#x27;s honestly not super useful, even for hobby flying. Any quadcopter you&amp;#x27;re flying with a head tracker is going to be so far away from other objects that the 3D effect will be minimal. The 3D might be great for zipping quickly through trees&amp;#x2F;obstacles like a pod racer [0], but for that you don&amp;#x27;t dare use head tracking.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;http://youtu.be/xlKrabm5Exg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;xlKrabm5Exg&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
