Point taken.
I'll try to come up with the initial plan as a wiki page this week,
including tasks that need to be done etc. Basically we've got
three areas that need to be implemented:
- The protocol side, the simulator has to respond to MARDrone
commands with the same format as the real ARDrone (Mandatory)
- A flying 3D-ARDrone implemented with whatever the selected technology is,
QML/3D sounds interesting. Doesn't need to be super-realistic but having
something flying on PC would give a better experience.
- The video stream-> encoding the 'onboard-camera' of the 3d-drone and sending
that into MARDrone side just like the real drone does.
