Global Flight remote-controlled camera copter
Another use of Zeiss's Cinemizer OLED 3D glasses is piloting remote-controlled aircraft from the perspective of the aircraft itself, a task that Zeiss partner Globe Flight offers. That's useful in particular for aerial photography, which Globe Flight offers through the use of unmanned helicopters and gliders. A glider and four-rotor helicopter can carry a lightweight GoPro video camera, and a beefier eight-rotor helicopter can carry an SLR camera for higher-quality images. The helicopters feature 3-axis stabilized, tilting camera platforms for a precise view, and can they fly along a series of waypoints by GPS navigation.
