Yes, but not anymore than standard fpv goggles (with no tracking) would give in this case anyway.

Yes, we thought of that as a possible improvement ("future work"). It may be harder to get the stereo cameras to match up, is my guess. But for a single camera setup it's probably not too hard and already exists for 360 videoes. So I guess if one's capable of streaming the video it shouldn't be too hard.

And stereo cameras arent really that useful. We explored it, and found that when looking at stuff more than a few meters away it made no difference. For inspections (which was what our drone was made for) of close stuff it has some merit, but could still probably be handled by some IR sensor or other computational stuff adding an overlay to the video.

As for vr sickness, the most jarring experience was flying behind yourself like a 3rd person shooter haha.



I still really want to try third-person view, but I can imagine it would be really disorienting.
