A Canadian RC airplane enthusiast shows us some sweet unanticipated convergence between a model RC airplane and virtual reality gear. It works like this: The airplane is a conventional one, controlled by a wireless remote control. On the airplane is a pan-and-tilt camera, controlled also wirelessly. Here's the cool part. The video is viewable through virtual reality goggles, which have a gyroscope built in to sense the movement of the goggles. When the wearer moves his head, the camera moves. Tragically, this is not a product you can buy, but a DIY project.

ah, c'mon Tony - this thing is SERIOUSLY, stunningly cool! I'd get one in a heartbeat!

Of course, I couldn't make one if my damn life depended on it.

Ya know I'd go to the extent, even though I'm already a pilot, to say...I want one!! This is actualy pretty cool.
