Virtual Reality Radio Control Plane

My friend Joel recently posted information about a Canadian who installed a video camera on his radio controlled plane and then flew it around various locations. That video is very cool and certainly conveys the vision you'd expect to see looking out the front of an airplane. An added dimension to this is that he's flying the plane by watching that video on some sort of virtual reality goggles. The next step apparently was to add gyroscopic sensors to his viewing goggles and install a panning camera in the cockpit of the plane. Now, when he turns his head, the camera moves independent of the plane and let's him sightsee... and, thanks to recording, share the views with us. Very fun idea!
