DJI surprises with glasses capable of controlling drones without hands
The new device called Goggles has Full HD viewers and allows you to direct an unmanned aircraft by simply tilting your head in different directions.
And NAB 2017, DJI has surprised with the launch of Goggles, virtual reality-type glasses that will allow you to guide drones with the simple movement of your head.
The device has two Full HD 1280 x 1440 viewers each (more resolution than the Oculus Rift and its 1080x1200 resolution), more than double the pixels compared to 2K screens. This would be equivalent to seeing a home cinema screen from about three meters away.
Thanks to the OcuSync wireless transmission system, up to two Goggles can be connected simultaneously to the same Mavic Pro, allowing both devices to directly access the drone's camera without going through the remote control, thus reducing possible delays.
The Goggles allow you to receive the live signal from the drone to the glasses with minimal latency. At long distances we will have a resolution of 720p at 30fps, although when the drone is close the resolution can reach up to 1080p at 60fps.
“All the glasses elements have the same characteristics of our flying platforms and thus optimize their connectivity to allow the user the most incredible experience with drones to date,” said Paul Pan, DJI product director.
In this sense, the DJI glasses can be synchronized with Mavic Pro through OcuSync or via USB port with Phantom 4 Advanced, Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 2.
The physical structure of the goggle (with the helmet and screen removable for easy transport and storage in small bags) is designed to distribute the weight across the head reducing pressure on the face so that there is no discomfort for the user even after hours of use.
Changes can also be made such as the operator display mode, from third to first person in a matter of seconds. In addition, it allows operation with prescription glasses, allowing you to see the aircraft and the surrounding environment at all times.
Finally, note that with fully charged batteries, these glasses can work for a maximum of six hours.
