Racing drones are gaining in popularity, combining the built-in user base behind video gaming with the inherent appeal of piloting something physical in the real world, and the Parrot Mambo FPV is a new consumer product that hopes to capitalize on that appeal by bringing it to the general masses. The new gadget is a quick and agile miniature drone designed specifically for VR racing, but it also comes with a social network that allows people from around the world to set up courses and race one another.
As with most racing drones, virtual reality is an integral aspect of the experience. The drone comes with a first-person HD camera that users can tap into via their smartphones and the included 'Cockpitglasses', which are essentially VR headsets that adjusts the view for added peripherals.
