First-person R/C car puts you in the driver's seat

A company called Fat Shark offers one of the coolest R/C cars we've ever seen. How so? Its system has a camera mounted in the car's driver's seat. It transmits its signal wirelessly to VR-style goggles that give the operator a first-person view of the terrain ahead of the car itself. That alone would be neat, but the camera has pan and tilt functionality that the driver controls by simply moving his or her head to "look" in each direction. The video pasted after the jump gives you a taste of what what you'd see if the glasses were strapped to your noggin. Granted, you'll look like a dork with the antenna-festooned goggles on, but at least you'll be having fun.

oh man I have to have it, not only does that look like sick fun, my lady would die laughing. I wonder what title I would earn, as I am the "Ultimate man baby" right now. Ultimate man baby dork ?

That is cool. I was looking at some small wireless cameras the other day because I tought it would be awesome to put in my cars and helicopters. This takes it a step further with the pan and tilt. Nice find.:yes:
