ok fine yes there is an exception for aerobatics. if you have the proper aerobatic certificate and letter of authorization, and you do your stuff over an unpopulated area, you can fly right down to ground level. there's a tunnel through a mountain in DCS that you can fly through if your plane is small enough. the tricky part is that, being a combat flight simulator, the smallest planes are also usually the fastest and twitchiest, like this mig-21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVd-DnuhU3o

obviously the solution is to dangle a rope from the bottom that drags on the ground, so its altitude is zero at all times

Sagebrush posted:operating an aircraft that requires FAA certification at any altitude counts as flying, yes. you aren't allowed to fly half a meter off the ground unless you're taking off or landing. so your saying catapults are free from regulation

as long as you aren't launching a certificated glider or other aircraft with it, or using it to launch things at airplanes or airports, the FAA doesn't care what you do with your catapult. they also don't care if you do launch an aircraft with it as long as the aircraft weighs less than 254 pounds before passengers. e: actually it's probably fine to launch a certificated glider with a catapult too as long as you do it in an appropriate glider launch area.

now i'm wondering how a dji mini would handle it if you put a big helium balloon on top think it'd throttle the props down to give beaucoup runtime? assuming like you match the lift + weight really well

i think it's a composite video using both the video camera and the depth sensor, and then a bunch of sparkly graphics effects turning the depth points into drifting glitter. the blue gridded part in the distance is video only and the voxel cloud in front is depth data + overlaid video images and then both of them are processed like nuts.

so wait do all videos recorded on an iphone 13 pro already have the lidar information embedded in them or do you have to hook it up to unity as you record to force it?

I would guess they used a custom app that enabled the lidar sensor while recording

i think the base app encodes the metadata into it, then it can be extracted on the desktop and fed into unity? the base project makes it sound like it does indeed force it on and dumps a single file to the camera roll, so it's easy to transfer https://github.com/keijiro/Bibcam

yeah I assumed it wasn't on by default because it must represent significant data and power consumption

it's fine, they're biodegradable and regulated by ethics experts. after consuming all matter on earth they will eventually starve and degrade into harmless biological wastes, also, they'll have done so in contravention of the ethical framework their creators were beholden to
