Usually the drone people call them FPV goggles (first person view), since VR implies head tracking and other frippery. Plus the term “FPV” has been around a long time. FPV goggles just receive a video signal and display it on a screen strapped close to your face.

@Fuzzalini Well, it’s attached to a drone doing tricks… he did make a gyro-compensated version, but it’s a little strange to have to keep looking around to see where it’s going.
I have an FPV “racing” drone, though I’ve used the goggles on a few others as well. It’s an awesome experience, but getting the hang of it is much more difficult than it seems like it should be. Took me probably a dozen flights before I was comfortable, and another dozen or so before I really started to open up the throttle.

@awk Actually kind of bummed to learn there aren’t many drones with a second camera for stereo 3D.
@trisk Doesn’t seem to be a thing (yet)… though this guy put a 360 camera on his which is cool!
@awk That almost made me puke. Yes, we get it, it’s a 360 camera. Now stop spinning it around!
@awk I’m not entirely certain that audio was at all necessary for that video.
