    Virtual FE boat driving

    Light weight camera and transmitter to install in the boat with color virtual goggles and sound to wear for real time driving. It is just like you are riding in the boat. Uses a 2.4g radio system.

      Have somebody tried this? How did driving go? I would assume that bigger boat and some 15-20cm waves could make enhance the experience.

        Ouch. A bit expensive but could be a tool to be developed. Nice to see how light and small technology has progressed. If the resolution increases this could be a decent surveillance tool.

          FPV is a blast in an airplane or car. There are lots of vendors and youtube videos around. FPV is the keyword to google for.

            I propose a new class with the driver being only able to use this fpv and a spotter to help. Can you say "Demolition Derby".
