Simulates first-person control of a remote-controlled vehicle using its onboard camera feed for driving, plus a display and input interface.
Systems and methods of simulating first-person control of remoted-controlled vehicles are described herein. The system may include oneor more of a remote-controlled (RC) vehicle, a display interface, an input interface, and/or other components. The RC vehicle may have an image capturing device configured to capture in-flight images. View information representing the captured images may presented on adisplay worn and/or otherwise accessible to user. The input interface may allow the user to provide control inputs for dictating a path of the RC vehicle. Augmented reality graphics may be overlaid on the view information presented to the user to facilitate gameplay and/or otherwise enhance a user's experience.
