I have not tried and have not heard of anyone trying it. if you succeed, please post.

This project does not solve your problem, but may be interesting.

Telepresence Using THETA V and Segway by TwinCam Go

I know @codetricity and others on here would definitely be interested in it, since I have seen people talking about sending Ricoh Theta V video from a drone, but as far as I know noone has demonstrated anything yet. We built a system that would allow a ground operator to view a livestream video from a drone in their VR headset. The system will send th…
