WHAT IS FPV?

FIRST PERSON VIEW =
REAL WORLD SIMULATION

FPV stands for First-Person View. When piloting the drone, students wear VR goggles, allowing them to see from the drone’s perspective. Unlike traditional drones, which are piloted from the pilot’s ground perspective, FPV offers a viewpoint directly from the drone. This provides an exceptionally immersive experience, leading to more precise flying and heightened accuracy. The outcome is faster reactions and a heightened awareness of the surroundings. That’s why we call it “precision drone pilot training.”
