## What is DroneXR?

With DroneXR (former DroneVR ;-) you can take a seat in your drone and fly like a bird. DroneXR connects your phone with the drone and renders the live video stream in stereo with high-quality lens distortion correction, so that it can be viewed with a virtual reality headset.

Important: The free version of DroneXR supports the Ryze Tello drone. Support for DJI drones can be activated via in-app purchase. See below for a list of supported drones.

DroneXR's features:
==============
* Beautiful, configurable user interface supporting dark and light mode.
* Two different head-up displays to overlay telemetry data such as heading, speed and altitude onto the camera view in real time.
* Comprehensive head-up menu to control all drone and camera settings while flying.
* Phone camera view and mini-map to see what's happening around you and stay oriented.
* Head tracking to control the orientation of the drone camera by moving your head! With the DJI Mavic/Phantom/Spark series, head tracking controls the camera pitch. With the DJI Inspire 1/Mavic 2/Mavic Air 2, head tracking works across all three axes.
* Detailed flight logging of flight path, telemetry data and events. Flight logs can be synchronized with your Mac via iCloud or file sharing.
* Spectator mode to link multiple phones and fly together with friends.
* Mono or stereo rendering of the drone video. Stereo rendering uses advanced lens distortion correction for high image quality.
* Highly adjustable to different VR headsets.
* High-definition video: 720p at 30 frames per second with Spark/Phantom 3/Phantom 4/Inspire 1, and up to 1080p with Mavic Pro/Mavic 2.
* Voice control for hands-free operation.
* Supported drones: Ryze Tello (free); via in-app purchase: Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom, DJI Mini/Mini 2/Mini SE, Mavic Air/Air 2/Air 2S, Spark, Phantom 4/4 Pro/4 Advanced, Phantom 3 Professional/Advanced/Standard/4K, Inspire 1.

Important notes:
============
* To use DroneXR you need one of the drones listed above.
* To control the Ryze Tello drone you need to connect a gamepad to your phone.
* To use DroneXR in stereo mode you need a virtual reality headset that holds your iPhone (e.g. Homido, FreeFly VR, Zeiss VR One, Cardboard). A high-resolution iPhone with a screen size of at least 5.5 inches is recommended. More information about recommended headsets can be found on our website: https://dronexr.de
