Hi everyone. Just wanted to drop an idea here, it's simple but quite unusual. Probably most of you have seen a remote control quadcopter. For sure you'll agree in that they are very cool toys, especially those with a camera that can be controlled using your phone. Of course, the "drones" capable of doing that are a bit expensive.
So, the idea is: what about renting them? Even if the owner is in the opposite side of the world, in any city. Technically, a drone such as the Parrot AR can be controlled via phone, and I was thinking about an app to control the drone using the owner's device as a "re-transmitter" to the person who is renting. Then, the customer would be able to control and see everything the drone is recording. All what's needed is the owner's phone (with a good internet connection to stream, probably root access too), the drone, the user's phone and an app installed to stream what the drone "sees", control it and handle the payments & rental time.
In summary, you could make yourself an inexpensive tour in any city in the world and explore it, as long as there is a drone for rent in that place.
Basically the owner of the quad would get paid for renting it and a small fee would be taken as profit. Let me know your thoughts. Can you think of a better monetization method? Would you pay to "drive" a drone?
