Exploring VR and Drone Flying: Joining the FPV Community!
Sup people!
I've been a long time watcher of Stew's and he finally got to me: I think it's time for me to hop in! A handful of years back I flew RC planes and now it's time for the vertical flyers.
My goal right now is to evaluate the benefits of combining VR (using a Meta Quest 3) with drone flying. I'm hoping the Walksnail VRX unit will work well with it and deliver good input latency, but time will tell! I'm excited to be part of this community and I'm eager to see where what the future holds!
Cheers

I have seen a few videos of it. Not sure. It seems pretty niche and a small viewing screen when pip. I am sure it is fine when it's attached to your head. Let us know your experience.

It's not really 'pip', at least I think so. You can blow up any window to the size of a theater screen, as well as just plainly bringing it closer or further away. That way you can basically define your own FOV. Much wider than most fpv goggles I've come across, anyway.
The main benefit that I'm looking for is twofold. One is that I would like to be able to see around me while flying. This enables me to speak to others and not look like a 'blind savant'. The other is plainly that I don't feel like throwing down even more money when I have already got a perfectly good headset haha.

@emiellr Like I said. Let us see it! jk, only thing I have seen was a screen that was in a fixed position and they were looking around irl through the goggles. I have g3's and I can do a pip mode where I can use the forward cameras to see. Usually plug the batteries in from there with the goggles on. I can see many uses of something more powerful. The cameras on the g3 are kinda zoomed and it's not a natural experience..

I think VRX -> Quest 3 is pretty niche, the one video Ive seen doing it they went VRX -> laptop via capture card, then laptop -> goggles via screen mirror/virtual desktop, so probably not ideal for latency, but I don't think the Quest 3 does HDMI in over the USB-C port so unfortunately that's probably your best bet.
Heres a good video on the setup for context, in this one he uses an analogue VRX into his phone and mirrors from there but same principle

Actually on further investigation, looks like you may be able to cut-out the laptop step if you use this HDMI Link beta functionality https://www.meta.com/en-gb/blog/hdmi-link-launch/?srsltid=AfmBOopMvj_1QpHa1hchqik95qxBxUkD80D7s5Tls3Ujfy4XUZ9qjgHS

I've been looking into that HDMI-link app as well. The problem is that the conversion from HDMI to USB-C (USB UVC) is quite slow. Best in class capture cards do 50ms at best, which is way too much in my opinion.
To be honest, the more I look into this, the more it seems that it's not really possible with sub 30ms glass-to-glass latency.

This is the video I had seen a while back. FPV pip is in fixed position and he is looking around irl as well. Pretty cool. But agreed, very niche currently. We have a quest 2, so I can't test it. Terrible front cameras on that.
