The Last native speaker of BO sadly died recently. BO is some form of Indian dialect if I recall correctly. There is a pretty sad story attached to it all, but I found it worthy of interest.


This is a screenshot of what is known as FPV flying. First Person View flying is basically flying a remote control plane/heli using a pair of specs with monitors in them (cyberspecs). Sometimes you can just hook it up to your laptop or TV set and relay the live image feed back wirelessly. Most good setups will allow a range of upto 1500ft or so without too much hassle. The white border/gauges is known as OSD "On Screen Display" and will be a chip that is installed somewhere on the camera setup, there is a lot of different OSD's available, this tech is relatively new and I imagine updated quite often, I have even seen Autopilot function on these devices.
