flyByWire: A Drone, a Webcam, and a Fly Brain
An experimental live workspace that connects drone video and laptop-camera tracking to a visualized MaleCNS connectome.
Field notes
The workspace accepts either a live drone feed or recorded flight footage, then uses a selectable webcam region for image-plane tracking. Its neuroscience layer exposes pathways including T4/T5, the nerve cord, and LC4 looming, with an orbitable model of 166,700 annotated neurons. The page reports that stationary footage also triggered direction outputs, but labels the motion readout unvalidated and keeps the brain disconnected from flight authority.
