meta_drone lets one control an AR.Drone 2.0 with Meta SpaceGlasses, an augmented reality headset.
Everything should be visible through a HUD on the screen.
The drone's altitude is controlled by the y position of one's right hand. Raising one's hand will make the drone rise, and dropping one's hand will let it descend.
The yaw, or rotation, of the drone is controlled by the x position of one's hand. Moving one's hand to the right will make the drone rotate clockwise. Moving one's hand to the left will do the opposite.
Pitch, or forwards movement, is controlled by the y position of one's left hand. Raising one's hand will make the drone move forwards, and dropping one's hand will move it backwards.
Landing, at the moment, is triggered when one makes a tight fist with both hands. Unfortunately, the tightness of one's hand often varies. Sometimes, the drone may not land. To land in an emergency, hit Ctrl-C in the command line.
If you'd like the drone to not move, leave your hands in the middle of the axis related to your control. For instance, to stop the drone from changing altitude, leave your right hand in the middle of the y axis.
To run the program, one will need an AR.Drone 2.0, Meta Glasses, and a computer. First, connect to the drone's wifi after powering the drone on. Run game.exe file in the game folder after plugging in and connecting the Meta Glasses. Then, once the GUI is visible, run the main.js file located in the wss directory. The drone should start to rise. Once it has taken off, you should be able to control the drone!
A video of the drone in action can be seen here.
