Augmented Reality to Make Your Drone VLOS Compliant
Epson's Michael Leyva Discusses Compliance Solutions Under the New FAA's Visual Line of Sight Rule Epson's Proposed VLOS Solution On June 21, the FAA announced the new small drone rules (under 55lbs) aka Part 107 which take effect August 29. One of the operational limits is maintaining Visual Line of Sight (VLOS). Under the new rules, pilots must always remain within visual line of sight of the drone — something that typically prohibits any kind of long-distance drone use, including even the most basic delivery drones though Amazon is still allowed to continue to study the delivery service potential. One solution that will provide data and maintain line of sight are Augmented Reality glasses like the EPSON Moverio BT-200/300. We speak with Michael Leyva, Product Manager of New Product Innovation, who will speak about the possibilities of solutions in partnership with DJI. Check it out!
