Plan routes, waypoints, narration and session content together.
Automated drone execution
Run tasks along approved routes, with human oversight and on-site intervention.
Application scenarios
Drones transmit aerial views while visitors watch immersively on the ground. Waypoint narration and on-site service connect the experience.
FDE support from planning to operation
Validate flight, transmission, viewing and reception through a complete session.
Lanzhou in practice
Assess on-site feasibility through an existing project's deployment and visitor journey.

Industry challenges
Turn scenery into an experience people can join
Conventional helicopter sightseeing involves substantial investment and ticket costs that can limit participation.
Visitors watch on the ground; participation is designed around the venue and reception capacity.
Explore the capabilityPaths and viewpoints rarely reveal the entire destination.
Bring hard-to-reach perspectives to visitors through ground-based viewing.
Explore the capabilitySeeing the landscape does not always reveal its cultural context.
Connect locations with cultural interpretation to give every view context.
Explore the capabilityFlight, content and reception often run separately, leaving staff to connect the experience.
Coordinate headsets, reception and entry and exit within daily operations.
Explore the capabilityVisitors watch on the ground. Authorized personnel manage flights; airspace, weather, network and site conditions determine availability.

Authorized personnel check airspace, weather and equipment before panoramic capture.
Staff follow imagery and position, coordinating flight with the ground experience.
Follow approved routes; staff handle exceptions. Visitors do not operate the aircraft.
Select capture, network and viewing equipment for the project. Validate aircraft, payload and system integration as a combination.
Application scenarios
01 · Historic towns Connect street views and the wider townscape through historical narration.
02 · Natural landscapes Reveal the structure of mountains and waterways, bringing distant scenery to the ground.
03 · Theme parks Connect park themes and experience content through an overall perspective.
04 · Architectural ensembles Explain spatial relationships through building layouts and architectural details.
05 · Rural tourism complexes Present agricultural landscapes and local culture through rural panoramas.

FDE support from planning to operation
Confirm the site, scenery, airspace and network conditions.
Configure capture, transmission, viewing and content systems.
Validate flight, transmission, viewing and reception through a complete session.
Train teams in flight, reception, device cleaning and exception handling.
Use records and feedback to refine content and sessions.
One workflow connects the site and the experience
Lanzhou in practice
Assess on-site feasibility through an existing project's deployment and visitor journey.
Capture in flight
Experience immersively
Waypoint content
The historical project used 20 headsets at one station, with approximately 15 minutes of flight and 20 minutes including entry and exit. Validate configuration and pacing on site.
Lanzhou in practice
Historical project experience
Reuse the workflow, then revalidate the site, network, routes and reception instead of copying the old configuration.
Account for hardware, software and content, network, venue and ongoing operations rather than one device's price.
This case does not establish suitability for every location. Validate each new site before replication.
Technology foundation
Existing connected-viewing, teleoperation and weak-network tests demonstrate transferable foundational capabilities.
Capture in flight↔Transmit live↔Experience immersively
China Unicom · Connected drones and VR
Remote task orchestration and multi-endpoint viewing validation.
VR end-to-end latency; control maintained at 30% packet loss, with one operator and multiple viewers.
Validation conditions apply only to the corresponding project.
Remote monitoring→Tracked humanoid robot→Aerial capture
CASC First Academy, Institute 18
Mixed-reality teleoperation validation. 148ms video latency; 4K 60fps, jitter <30ms, network switching <2s. Validation conditions apply only to the corresponding project.
Ship endpoint↔Satellite connectivity↔Shore endpoint
China Merchants Energy Shipping · Satellite ship–shore communications
Satellite-connected ship and shore endpoints validate calling under weak-network conditions. 60–100kbps uplink, approximately 1300ms RTT and burst packet loss of 77%; terminals and conferencing systems obtained CNAS test reports. Validation conditions apply only to the corresponding project.
