ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has created the distinct challenge for the piloting of drones/other UAVs for researchers and educators who are restricted to working remotely. We propose a Remote Visual Line-of-Sight system that leverages the advantages of Virtual Reality (VR) and motion capture to allow users to fly a real-world drone from a remote location. The system was developed while our researcher (VR operator) was remotely working in Vietnam with the enclosed real-world environment located in Australia. Our paper will present the system design and the challenges found during the development of our system.

Definition of a Reference Architecture for the Integration of Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality Techniques in Remote Experimentation Environments
Proceedings TEEM 2022: Tenth International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing MulticulturalityAbstractRemote labs are especially important for learning because they bring real results and each experience is unique. On the other hand, lack of immersion is one of the negative aspects of remote labs. This aspect can be solved through the integration ...
Effective Remote Drone Control using Augmented Virtuality
CHIRA 2019: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and ApplicationsSince the remote drones control is mentally very demanding, supporting the pilot with both, first person view (FPV) and third person view (TPV) of the drone may help the pilot with orientation capability during the mission. Therefore, we present a ...
