"@ Fnoop, Thanks for your nice comments. About new technologies, it is really amazing what can come out when you assign real coordinates to video pixels. A drone is full blown system of systems that combines all the required sensors with a video…"
"@ Patrick, We already developed 2 different methods of reference for the VR-Eye cam video when the VR headsets are used:
One is referenced to True North. As the VR headset has an integrated compass, when you point your head to the North you will be…"

"@ Patrick, Here is how the VR-Eye cam architecture works with our GCS and VR headsets: The video is transmitted to the GCS using the corresponding datalink (in our case it is digital but we are testing analog links for the analog VR-Eye cam version…"
"@ Patrick,
The OSD integration is feasible on the VR headsets. As long as the OSD data arrive at the GCS they can be relayed at the VR headsets. We will look into that. "

"@ Patrick, The “Fly by vision” mode is currently being implemented and it will be available on the September release. This mode will give you the option to point with your VR headset to a physical object you see on the video stream, press the…"
"@ GI, As described on the “why we made it” section of the product’s page, the VR-Eye cam is the first of its kind single lens camera that gives immersive 360 spherical view with extreme simplicity and low cost. This is a milestone on its own as it…"
"Hello Glenn,
Thank you for your nice comments. We have something in the works for software stabilization and I think we are very close.
First, let me clarify that we don’t want the image stabilization to take place on the camera itself as we wish to…"

"Hi Nikola,
I just discussed this with the software developers and its certainly doable (and actually a very good suggestion) but our priorities until end of August have already been set to bring the entire functionality to Android so it can support…"

"@ Marc, Thank you for your nice comments. Although the Pharos antenna is an independent system from the VR-Eye cam, they both plug on the microhard modem as you pointed out and they both work together with the Pixhawk.The results in this case are…"
"@ Marc, Please see the answers below:
You got it right. Any object that appears on the video can be used as a “video target”. You click on it on the video window and its coordinates are generated and used from that point on as a standard waypoint.…"

"@ Gary, GI, the coordinates extraction we do is actually very accurate and pretty much adequate for drones navigation. Actually, the only limiting factor is the accuracy of the GPS sensor used. With the standard 3DR uBlox sensors we get an accuracy…"
"@ Gary, The Gear-VR we use works great. The immersion feeling we get is really impressive. I guess the Oculus Rift will feel even better but less mobile though?
Let me explain briefly how the video georegistration works for navigation purposes in…"

"@ Global innovator, I agree with your comments about the effort it takes to produce a viable 3D spherical live video stream. We have 2 mathematicians working on these advanced algorithms for several years doing constant optimizations on the 3D…"
"Hello Gary,
There is no image stabilization implemented. The camera image sensor is an 1/1.8" SONY IMX178 CMOS. It can reach up to 5MP but for the time being even rectifying the 1080p resolution in real time without using external GPUs is a constant…"

This is a single lens spherical vision camera capable of streaming 360 x 240 degrees Field of View (FOV) video. It is optimized for drones and robotics due to its small size and weight. The viewer can visualize the live or recorded stream as either…
"@ Chris, My 2 cents here in case someone finds it useful for RTK applications: The Microhard modem we’ve been discussing a few threads back has 2 individual serial ports, each one with adjustable baud rate. It also has one Ethernet port. One serial…"
