You can use it for drone pilots.


I’m a private pilot and long-time flight sim player. The most annoying aspect of any flight sim is the limited view, and inability to quickly scan between the instruments and things outside the cockpit.

Had an opportunity to play Sony’s VR Ace Combat 7 last week. Basically you have a VR headset that tracks your head position.

Completely effortless to scan inside the plane and out.
Much more realistic than anything else I’ve ever tried, FBO-based FAA-approved sim trainers included.

I have an Oculus Gear and I love it (even if it still has a tiny blur problem).

I have “visited” the ISS, Ancient Ruins, London on at New Years, flown in jet fighters, driven in race cars — the number and scope of experiences is unbelievable. I also have recorded my own VR memories and it is almost like being there again.

Once they perfect it, VR will be the only way to go.

Once you have experienced it, you will never go back to just pictures or 2D videos again.
