EHang has launched its new Ghostdrone 2.0 VR, a drone that features a built-in 4K spherical camera, which can be controlled by the user with a pair of innovative virtual reality goggles.
Manoeuvring the drone by simply moving their head whilst wearing the goggles, users have complete control via a free app on their smart device (iOS or Android). The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 VR manages to combine two of the hottest trends of 2017: drones plus virtual reality.
For an inclusive flying experience, the drone features an integrated 4K spherical camera and innovative virtual reality goggles, which you can use to see from your drone’s perspective or change the camera angle.
All you need to do is simply tilt your head up or down. Combined with EHang’s signature mobile phone control that allows users to control their GhostDrone 2.0 VR from their smart device with over 10 different easy to use, it’s very easy to control flight modes.
The GHOSTDRONE 2.0 VR combines accessibility with top-line engineering and design to take the flying experience to the next level.
