Mind control

[Jessestr]

Hi there

As we have a project in high school about mind controlling.. more specific.. brain waves.. It got me thinking if it would be a nice option for a flightcontroller..

Would you like it to mind control everything? Or would you choose regular control with a transmitter? It takes much difference with it and I don't know how people look on to mind controlling since it's not that popular yet.

Share your thoughts...

Some guys in China developed a control unit for disabled people:

If my aircrafts would simply do what I have on my mind, I'd have less crashes.
Usually they don't...

Thanks for the link.

It's just. For mind control you need to be very focused! If not the mind control won't be able to read the brain pulses. Which makes the quad crash. So being distracted while flying is a bad thing. You should need to get the focus of the person in data so you can activate failsafe on focus loss and not connection loss.

Just something I was thinking about!

Yep, you need to learn how to use your brain waves. That could in deed be more complicated than strangling the sticks.
At least it would mean a steep learning curve...
