Driving Factor

Incorporation of Virtual & Augmented Reality in Drone Simulations to Fuel the Market

The UAV simulator market growth is getting positively influenced by the integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in drone simulation systems by companies. For example, DronOSS, a German UAV startup, has adopted AR tools to simulate obstacles and lifelike structures to train drone pilots. The sensors and cameras attached to the drone allow the operator to pilot the device, with the aim to minimize the probability of crashing the drone in a real-world situation. Similarly, in 2018, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a novel VR-based training system for UAVs that allow these vehicles to see a virtual environment while flying through empty space. The system has been conceived to reduce the number of drone crashes during actual training sessions. Recognizing the potential of drones in carrying out different functions, several industry verticals have been deploying these devices to conduct critical operations. Xcel Energy, for instance, became the first utility in the US to use a beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone for inspection activities. Increasing usage of VR and AR to make UAVs smarter is fostering the long-term growth prospects of this market.
