Description

Drones with game habit

Thanks to advances in technology, we can now explore whole new ways of playing by using drones and Virtual Reality goggles for experiments and art games. A particularly exciting experience is the First Person View, where you can slip from the position of an inside observer into the role of the outside observer. With this new gaming habit, the line between reality and gameplay has never been so blurred.

Drones offer a unique and immersive way to experience video games. With their ability to be piloted remotely, they provide players with a new level of control and flexibility when it comes to gameplay. 

Drones can be used to create an immersive First Person View (FPV) experience for gamers. By introducing game mechanics to drones, players can gain achievements, explore the world, interact socially, or kill the competition (Bartle-Test).

Game Art with Drones not only allows the player to be an inside observer but also provides them with an external view that enhances their appreciation for the beauty of the game.
