Very Big Things, a leading digital products agency, has won Digiday Media’s Digital Product Innovation of the Year for the Drone VR project. Very Big Things created Drone VR for Certify-ED, a virtual reality content provider for American schools. The application has been distributed worldwide to vocational, charter, and online schools. After students complete the Drone VR training course by Certify-Ed, students are prepared to take the aeronautical knowledge test to obtain this Certificate. Drone VR is the first web-based virtual reality flight simulator with real-world physics. It is fully immersive, yet accessible through the web browser on a desktop, as well as the web browser on a headset – giving access to users virtually, anywhere to this type of learning tool. Drone VR is the centerpiece of Certify-ED’s Remote Pilot Certificate course, which prepares students to take the aeronautical knowledge test required to earn a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA. Immersed in virtual reality, users learn to operate drones in various conditions and urban areas, completing search and rescue missions, reconnaissance, and inspections of large structures. The idea is to pave the way for online learners to obtain the training needed for new careers in this industry.
