Looking for PoC project using Video stream from a Drone

[elpiel]

Hello from AeroRust WG

We are working on a Drone SDK for Parrot drones and we thought it would be nice to make a small PoC project with the video stream coming from the Drone.

We don't have anything particular in mind, however we do want to tie it with the SDK and have something working even if it's not something spectacular.

There is even a simulated environment build with Sphinx (in which I work) and one of our other members (cc @o0Ignition0o) has some hardware that we can test on.

We are looking into a VR headset for displaying only (for now) the video stream and it might be cool to have what the drone sees from the camera or something similar.

Future work

We would like to build a cool demo starting with controlling the drone all the way for person to supervise the drone using the VR Headset and taking control if he sees fit.

For example: Drone flies towards something and the person intervenes and takes control of the drone before crashing.
