We see futuristic contraptions hit the headlines, from smartwatches to wearables like Google Glass, but it’s the insane hacks that throw them together we love the most. We’ve just spotted a mashup between a drone with twin video cameras
attached to it, all controlled via an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, and while you might think that’s fairly ludicrous, it’s not the most insane tech collaboration we can think of. Read on for an idea of some of our dream tech mashups and why we wish they were real!

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you combined an Oculus Rift headset with aDJI Phantom 2 drone, look no further than what some of the minds at the NorwegianUniversity of Science and Technology have cooked up. Regular flight controls are handled by the standard radio control, but tilting around is all made possible with the Oculus headset – and as there are two video cameras onboard, both of those are fed right into the headset too, giving you complete immersion for your drone adventures. We want to see this as standard with each drone – how about you?
