Okay, I've never flown a remote-controlled plane before, but this just looks too badass.

It's a video camera that mounts onto an RC plane (or whatever you want,) and sends a real-time signal back to a set of VR Goggles that you wear, (which look very 80's in a totally Rad kinda way.)
Ya gotta watch the video. It'll make you think of mounting this camera on all kinds of stuff.
I was even thinking how sweet it would be to get some bad-ass aerial shots for a movie with this thing. It looks like the signal is NTSC, so it's probably no better than 720x486, but what a nice touch of production value you could add to a standard-def movie! Imagine an aeriel shot flying over two sword-fighting combatants on a ridge, ala Highlander!
I saw it on BOING BOING.
