Abstract

This paper explores the use of drones for entertainment with the emerging technology of AVR (Augmented and Virtual Reality) over the past 10 years from 2006 to 2016. Drones, known as UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System), is an aircraft without a pilot or a person board also known as an unmanned aircraft. This paper focuses on drones with four sets of rotor blades, known as a Quadcopter, and how they are applied in the field of entertainment and AVR because their usages are getting expanding in science, commercial, or entertainment use. Industries and individuals began to see opportunities of drone technology and these days and it is expanding to the field of creating aerial immersive mixed reality. This paper introduces the overview of drones and characteristics of their usages in the field of entertainment and AVR areas.
