Take a look behind the scenes of our Virtual Reality Drone Flight Simulation!
Want to know how we create a 360 degree virtual reality experience? Check out the video below.
Come behind the scenes with us!
Meet our UAV pilots and learn from the creators and developers of this new and exciting experience as we talk through the technology and planning involved in creating this drone flight simulation.
We created this simulation to give people an opportunity to experience the coastline from a unique perspective. At ground level it can be hard to see and understand hazards, but from above you can obtain a whole new view, helping you to better understand why safety on the coast is so vital.

How can I use this video in my secondary STEM classroom?
Technology Mandatory (Years 7-8) Classroom
TE4-10TS explains how people in technology related professions contribute to society now and into the future
Investigate the way in which technologies evolve locally, regionally or globally and how competing factors are prioritised in the development of design solutions, for example: (ACTDEK029) ST – automation and data transfer in manufacturing, eg Industry 4.0 – GPS and drone technologies used in farming
Information and Software Technology (Stage 5, Year 10) Classroom
Information and Software: This video could be used to teach students about different types of purposes of this multimedia and how this multimedia is created
Authoring and Multimedia: This option provides an opportunity for project development in multimedia. It will allow students to develop skills using authoring software in developing multimedia products. The project should incorporate three data types into a multimedia product controlled by a computer.
