Immersive flight for surveillance applications

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Sylvain Cardin, Xavier Righetti

In this paper , we present a VR-based first-person view paradigm applied to a tele-surveillance application. Using an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), we have developed an intuitive tangible interface between the pilot and his airship (blimp). The idea is to ma ...
