Proposal and Development of a Learning Support System for Small Multicopter Operation Skills Using AR Technology

Abstract

In recent years, multicopters, so-called drones, which can be used in a variety of fields, have become increasingly popular. As the number of accidents due to pilot error has been increasing year by year, it is considered difficult for beginners to control a drone in a space with obstacles. However, when practicing with a real object, there is a possibility that the aircraft will be damaged by contact. In order to reduce the possibility of damage to the aircraft, we proposed and built a system that uses AR technology to display obstacles in the form of virtual objects for practice. In the evaluation experiment, we evaluated the change of the maneuvering time before and after the practice with the real object and the practice with the system, and showed that the maneuvering time is likely to improve equally.
