Training to Get a Drone License, Virtually

Abstract: We propose a drone flight training system (DFT MR) with a novel mixed reality (MR) technique to lower the risk of drone crashes for drone flight beginners and enhance their actual feelings of drone control. The proposed MR system integrates the advantages of both VR and AR by transmitting the high-fidelity simulated physical control feedback, such as obstacle collision and wind influence, from VR to the MR device. The system not only benefits those who have VR sickness but also provides the novice drone operators virtual crash-free drones for training to get their drone licenses.
