Uplook

Keep your eyes on the drone.

Battery, minutes left, distance and safety alerts, right in your Meta Ray‑Ban Display glasses.

A drone pilot in sunglasses reaches up toward his drone against a dusk sky, controller in hand.

Also watched: weak signal (under 30%), weak GPS (fewer than 6 satellites) and fast descent (faster than 4 m/s). Replica of the glasses view with simulated values. The glasses show white text only; color here marks severity.

The phone does the math.

Drain 6%/minHome needs 23%

Minutes, not just percent

The big number is how long you can keep flying before you need to turn back. It comes from the drain measured on this flight and the battery the trip home needs.

“How much time is left?”

In flight

About 5 minutes before you need to head home, 60% margin.

Ask

Ask out loud

Tap Ask on the glasses or the phone and say “How much time is left?” Flight questions are answered from live data, with no internet. Other questions go to Gemini Nano, on phones that have it. Alerts never wait for the AI.

520 mFrom home

Home is behind and to the left

Home, from the drone’s nose

The dial shows where home is relative to the way the drone is facing, so you know which way to turn it.

How it works

  1. Your drone

    ArduPilot or PX4 over MAVLink, by Wi‑Fi or telemetry radio. DJI Mini 3, Mini 4 Pro and Enterprise are in development. Any other drone, like the DJI Neo 2, with a flight timer.

  2. Your Android phone

    Works out each alert and answers your questions on the phone. Listens only, never flies.

  3. Your glasses

    Show the alert and three numbers, even with the phone in your pocket. Tap Ask to talk.
