UAV training<\/a> programs and platforms that can help you get better at drone flying. <\/p>\nThese include web and app drone simulators that attempt to replicate the actual drone flying experience. <\/p>\n
But there has never been a simulator program as realistic as the one recently developed by Epson in collaboration with DJI and Y Media Labs. <\/p>\n
Epson is a Japanese electronics company best known for their range of printers. Y Media Labs is a technology and design agency.<\/p>\n
Together with DJI, they have created a simulator application that uses augmented reality (AR) to provide a hyper-realistic drone training experience. <\/p>\n
The application, which will be available later this year, is designed for use with the Epson Moverio BT-300 smart glasses. <\/p>\n
About The App<\/h2>\n
The BT-300 glasses are not new; they were launched in 2016. But the AR application to go with them has been in development throughout the year. <\/p>\n
DJI and the Moverio team from Epson worked with Y Media Labs to develop the applications specifically for the BT-300 glasses. So don\u2019t expect to use it with your own AR glasses. <\/p>\n
The app creates a 3D projection of a drone using the BT-300 glasses. Here\u2019s a short video demonstration. <\/p>\n
