    A Canadian RC airplane enthusiast shows us convergence between a model RC airplane and virtual reality gear.
    The airplane is a conventional one, controlled by a wireless remote control. On the airplane is a pan-and-tilt camera, controlled also wirelessly.
    Here's the cool part. The video is viewable through virtual reality goggles, which have a gyroscope built in to sense the movement of the goggles. When the wearer moves his head, the camera moves.

    I took one look, and now I gotta do this as well as all the other projects! :D

    Of course, it doesn't have to be planes .... it could also be surface, or underwater models.

    Where does UAVs end and RC models begin ?
    The distinction is getting blurred, and the costs getting lower.
