PinpointFly: An Egocentric Position-pointing Drone Interface using Mobile AR
Linfeng Chen, Akiyuki Ebi, Kazuki Takashima, Kazuyuki Fujita, Yoshifumi Kitamura · 2019
We propose PinpointFly, an egocentric drone interface that allows users to arbitrarily position and rotate a flying drone using position control interactions on a see-through mobile AR where the position and direction of the drone are visually enhanced with a virtual cast shadow. Unlike traditional speed control methods, users hold a smartphone and precisely edit the drone’s motions and directions by dragging the cast shadow or a slider bar on the touchscreen.
