Let Your Body Control The Drone
Flying a drone is not easy as it seems. A lot of practice, patience, experience and concentration are all what required to fly a drone safely. EPFL has developed a system for drone control, taking away the sticks and replacing them with intuitive and comfortable movements of your entire body.
Basically, its an upper-body soft exoskeleton called FlyJacket. Developed by EPFLs Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, led by Professor Dario Floreano, FlyJacket is designed to be portable and affordable. The suit equipped with sensors detects the body motion, and translate torso pitch into drone pitch and torso roll into drone roll.
The experience starts when you put the FlyJacket on as it gives the feeling to wear a superhero suit. As the drone control is very intuitive, user is directly immersed into the flight and can directly start to explore the environment. You almost instantly become embodied to the drone, says Carine Rognon from EPFL.

Virtual Reality can be applied also in drones? I don't think it will work even in a shorter time. How does drone will get the movement of our body? Is the coordination of our hands or feet are tracked by drones? This is really impossible to happen and I will believe if I will see it in the video or in real life.Flying a drone is not easy as it seems.
