Drones and virtual reality are both growing trends in the tech sector. And now, the two concepts are combining in a new sport — drone racing.
Here’s how it works. Drone pilots use virtual reality headsets to fly drones around an obstacle course from a first person perspective. Drones fly in different heats and are scored based on checkpoint passes and the overall time it takes them to complete the course.
It might sound like a weird niche, but this new sport incorporates some interesting new technology that is already trending with a lot of consumers. And on top of that, it also incorporates some classic racing elements that fans of other sports are already drawn to.
