Review of the DJI Goggles N3, a goggle-type device that displays drone aerial footage in real time in a VR game style.



The ' DJI Goggles N3 ' is a goggle-type head-mounted display designed to work with DJI drones, allowing you to fly the drone while viewing real-time aerial footage being captured by the camera. It looked interesting, so I tried it out indoors.

The DJI Goggles N3 are compatible with both the DJI Neo and DJI Avata 2. For this demonstration, we've prepared the DJI Neo. We'll also be using the DJI RC Motion 3 controller, which can be operated with one hand.



Put on the DJI Goggles N3. Position the goggles to fit your eyes and nose, then turn the dial on the back of your head to lock them in place. The goggles have ample space inside, so you can wear glasses with them on.

The goggles have lenses inside, allowing you to see the image with both eyes.



The camera captures what's behind the lens. Unlike VR games where images are displayed all around, this system displays a rectangular image in a dark space.



The parts that come into contact with the face are covered with soft cushioning that conforms to the contours of the face. The area around the nose is made of a soft material that completely blocks out external light.



I actually tried flying a DJI Neo while wearing DJI Goggles N3. Being able to fly while viewing the camera footage in real time gives a sense of immersion. On the other hand, it's difficult to judge the distance between the drone and surrounding objects, making it unsuitable for high-speed flight. While the experience of flying while viewing the footage up close is interesting, DJI drones already allow you to view the footage in real time using a controller with an LCD panel or a smartphone app, so I didn't feel any advantages other than the 'sense of immersion.'
