Third-Person Piloting: Increasing Situational Awareness using a Spatially Coupled Second Drone
summary
Proposes using a spatially coupled second drone to give an interactive third‑person view that increases situational awareness; implements a working prototype with miniature drone on controller and two displays, uses GPS and an algorithm that maintains spatial triangle mapping between pilot eye, miniature, primary drone and second drone, and runs on commercial programmable drones. Latency proves acceptable in brief tests; user study (novices: 2/3 positive, advanced beginners: all strongly positive, experts: all positive) shows improved perception and comprehension but notes depth/orientation and visibility issues and needs collision‑avoidance integration.
