I attended the Melbourne Multirotor Racing Club (MMRC) race through MultiGP on Sunday morning, and aside from it being well organised and generally awesome, it got me thinking
What is the next sport or spectator event to use VTX technology, where the spectators are connected to exactly what the player - in this case a pilot - is seeing?
Yeah it's been tried before, with the whole dual-screen thing, but this was different.
Being able to swap between the racers during the race, pick a favourite or the best flyer, see a crash live - was awesome.
Seeing their exact view, OSD etc etc, thinking what they were thinking when they saw traffic, the take off, the final corners...
Some examples below, this was captured with my Fatshark Dom V2 DVR, quality is better in the video
