The idea is make real FPV drone racing play like a car racing video game. 3D Scan a real race course. Import to Unity 3d and create functional game. Sync configure Xbox controller to control both drone and 3D holographic car as graphic overlay and other interface elements. Use Hololens as an FPV. Make appear as if driving 3D car seamless with live HD video feed.

Besides a parrot drone, can a xbox controller be configured to fly racing drone? Can a video game car wheel be configured to control drone? Is there a code/script/plugin in Unity 3D that can be created to configure sync both drone and 3D car model? Can Unity3D 3D graphic video game overlay and live video be used with Oculus Rift or FPV goggles?

I’m pretty sure you can do what you’re asking about. The bigger question comes from whether you can put the effort needed for such a task/have the equipment.

Great question. There are some equipment that must be obtained to make progress. The Hololens dev kit will be available Q1 2016. Collaboration with other drone racing enthusiasts and game developers is key. Knowing that FPV drone racing is growing, its immersive fun and can be enhanced by making it a experience like a video game makes it worth the effort.
